Colorize a Black-and-White Image in Photoshop
Exercise 3
Aim
To Colorize a Black-and-White Image in Photoshop
Step 1
Open an image in any color mode and choose Image→Mode→RGB.
If the image isn’t already a grayscale image, choose
Image→Adjustments→Desaturate.
This feature makes it appear as though the image is
black-and-white, but you’re still in a color mode and can apply
color.
Step 2
Choose a painting tool (the Brush tool, for example) and, from
the Swatches panel, choose the first color you want to paint
with.
On the Options bar, select Color from the Mode drop-down list
and then use the Opacity slider to change the opacity to 50 percent
or just type 5.
Start painting!
Color Blending mode is used to change the color of pixels while
keeping intact the underlying grayscale (shading).
Another way to bring attention to a certain item in an RGB image
is to select the item.
Step 3
Choose Select→Modify→Feather to soften the selection a bit
(Enter 5 pixels in the Feather Radius text field).
Step 4
Choose Select→Inverse. With everything else selected, choose
Image→Adjustments→Desaturate. Everything else in the image looks
black and white, except for the original item you selected.
Result
A Black-and-White Image has been Colorized in Photoshop.
Understanding the working of a Layer and create a Vector
Graphic
EXERCISE 4
AIM - TO UNDERSTAND THE WORKING OF A LAYER AND CREATE A VECTOR
GRAPHIC.
PROCDEURE
STEP 1
Create a new document in Photoshop (File>New):
STEP 2
CREATE A NEW LAYER
In the bottom right you should have the layers window. In case
you don’t see it, go to
Window>Layers:
STEP 4
Set the foreground color to black by clicking on the foreground
color thumbnail to open the color picker and selecting black
(#000000).
Now grab the Paint bucket tool (G) and click on the canvas to
fill it with black. Let’s analyse the layers window: the blank
layer is now black. This is because what we do on the canvas
affects only the layer which is selected. We have 2 layers, one
black and one white. Since the black one is above, it’s displayed
while the white one is hidden (layer hierarchy).
Switch the foreground color to yellow (#f9d904) and use the
horizontal type tool (T) to write something. Note that Photoshop
has automatically created a new type layer:
The background layer is locked (note the padlock on the right of
the layer thumbnail). This means it can’t be modified. To unlock
the background layer double click on it an hit OK in the window
that appears:
Every time you want to prevent a layer from casual adjustments
you can lock it by selecting it from the layers window and pressing
the lock button.
You can give a title to each layer. This is a good practice in
particular when you work with complex compositions. Simply
double-click on the layer title in the layers window to re-name
it.
Select the bottom layer (the white one), set the foreground
color to orange (#eb6e08), grab the paint bucket tool and click to
fill. Apparently nothing has changed but the bottom layer is now
filled with orange, as you can notice from the layers window.
Select the black layer. Grab the eraser tool (E) and select a
round 300px brush:
Click once in the center of the canvas. What happens? Once
erased the center of the black layer, a part of the orange one
appears.
This is due to layers hierarchy:
In the layers window move the text layer below the black
one:
As you may have imagined, a part of the text is covered, while
the area below the spot is preserved (layers hierarchy).
Right-click on the layers thumbnail and select Blending options.
Here we can add some adjustments to the layer. Select “drop shadow”
with the following settings (screenshot). In this way we can add
depth to the image:
You can add a soft shadow to the text too. In this way you can
feel more the sensation to work with 3 different levels one on the
top of the other.
RESULT - A VECTOR GRAPHIC HAS BEEN CREATED WORKING WITH
LAYERS.
