Hello everyone, It's time for another challenge today. This week I found one I think you all may like. It's from photolesa, and it's about coloring old black & white photos. Here is the Tutorial. This is one I did a while back. It is my wife when she was about a year and a half old. As always have fun.  |

Sorry, but I am having trouble getting started. Where it says to "Choose View > New Window", right now I still see the same thing, but a tab is added above. I think some setting needs to be changed so I can have several windows displayed at once (Tiling?). How is that done?

Try this.
1. View>New Window for . . . (Now you will have two thumbnails in the Photo Bin.)
2. Window>Images>Tile. (Now you will have the two windows side by side in the workspace.)
Now whichever editing you do in one window will also be displayed in the other window.

I don't think they would mind Whippet. After all, clothes back in them days, wasn't very vibrant in color. Good job though.

From the family album 1915. A relative of my grandmother's on the occasion of her 18th birthday. I added a light surface blur at the end.

@ Verber. I did try to colour the blouse yellow, but it just came out as a solid patch - no folds, creases etc. Ritage. That is beautiful. Years ago, I knew an old lady, who, in her working life, had been an artist who coloured photographs - just like yours looks, only done with a paint brush. Well - they didn't have computers in those days, either.  |

@ Verber. I did try to colour the blouse yellow, but it just came out as a solid patch - no folds, creases etc. Ritage. That is beauti Whippet, did you perhaps forget to change the blend mode of the layer to color or overlay? If you did set it, lowering opacity might help. The best control is achieved when you put each color on a separate layer so you can make little changes like that locally instead of globally.
And did you notice that you cannot paint anything white? That's because white is not a color. I had to change the fichu to light blue for that reason (after I figured it out  )
And thank you! Rita

Thanks for the info, Rita. I did have the blouse on a seperate layer . . . but never thought to change the opacity. Funny you should mention white. I have just done a picture, and the background was black. So I changed background/foreground. And I managed to paint it over in white. Just lucky ignorance?  |

You made me discover something interesting. When I paint white over black on the same layer, it works fine. Is that what you did? It never occurred to me to try that. When I paint white on a new layer above a black layer, it does not show.

Oops, I don't know where the quote went.
