converting an old Black and White pic to color

[Martel]

Wondering if it is a possibility to colorize an old black and white photo.

Read somewhere that could separate each area and put on layers then adjust each layer.

Thanks

if you add a new layer above the original picture and set the top layer to overlayer or multiply (depending on ur prefrences) and color it in of use the select tools to select parts and fill them in and ect. hope this helps

I don't know if this will work on a monochrome image, but it might be worth a shot: Color Match

You can separate parts of the image using

the same methods as for cutting out an image.

hardyboyz619,

Thanks I am going to try that whilst using Sarkut's advice

Ego Eram Reputo,

I am attempting the Pyrochild color match plugin.

At first try it totally globbed the pic with color.

I will continue to try it to see if I can gain control of the colorization.

I have a photo from last year and another from forty years ago...same beach

Sarkut,

Thanks again for the help!
