Colourizing A Picture















The task I had to do was to use the colourize tool on photoshop which is in the adjust hue/saturation pallet.

When I did this i had to create more layers in order to do this properly and this also made it much easier to correct after I had made a mistake, as with the selection tools it is often very easy to go over the edges which then means that parts of the image that you don't want to change will end up a different colour.

I decided to use this image as it already had very strong lines that were easy to follow with the selection tool and this also meant that i could create very effective contrast very easily using this very simple tool. I chose to only change two parts of this image as they were very large areas and even though they are very strange colours it doesn't make it look strange or out of place compared to the original as the original was already very perfect and did look as if it had already had some form of image changing work done to it even though it hadn't.
