    I just use the overlay tool and adjust the opacity until its right.
    Pretty simple really.

    I saved that image to play around with and found something verrrry interesting. The thumbnail that shows up in the file details in XP folder shows a full color image, but when opened in irfanview, it shows exactly as you posted here. Here's a screen capture showing them side-by-side.

    Well, I rarely take photos in BW mode.

    I would rather take them in color and convert so I can have it both ways.
    cmr164: (So it was a color image that was made B/W as opposed to the other way and then possible recolored.)


    I was not displaying the ability to convert a color image to BW.
    Instead, I was showing the ability to tint a bw image.
    But for you: Let me lay it down for ya:

    The color image was converted to BW in photoshop. Then the BW image was tinted using the overlay tools.

    Gimp is the freeware replacement for Photoshop. I have Photoshop 7 on a WinXP box that I don't like to use. Have not yet purchased it for the Mac so I have Gimp on MacOSX/Solaris/Tru64 which are the O/Ses that I actually use.

    Which raises a question for me. What is the difference, if any, between shooting in B&W mode vs. converting to B&W (or grayscale) in post production?

    I really like the tinting, Tuesday. It lends a very unique, arty touch to your photos. One more thing I'd like to play around with (which is the reason I downloaded your photo in the first place...to check it out a little closer). Really nice work.

    I'm not even sure if I can get my 10D to shoot in B&W, although I can make my S400 do it. I guess it's time to RTFM.

    Excellent question, Fish, I have often wondered the same. ear.gif


    Hey Tuesday, could you walk me through the overlay process? I think I understand that you have a B&W layer and a color layer, and you're selecting how much of the color layer to show through. How are you controlling it?

    Personally, I can't find a difference in shooting in BW mode or converting later. ne_nau.gif
    I like to convert so I can see the photo both ways.

    (note: if your photo does not have enough contrast when converted to BW, try increasing the green levels before converting. It's like using a green filter. Works wonders on some photos)

    Back to the question at hand.

    After the photo has been converted to BW, I just choose the overlay tool, adjust the opacity (start low - try 10-15). Choose a shade of pink (for cheeks), and just paint over that area.

    Since you are overlaying and the opacity level is low, you will not cover the photo that is there like you will if you use the airbrush tool alone.

    This way, it will tint the photo without losing any of the shadows present in your photo.

    Eyes, I did the same way, just chose a shade of blue.

    It really is quite simple. I'm no rocket scientist.

    I hope this makes sense.

    you have a lot more control over the BW tones, in general, by converting on the computer. you can edit color channels in monochrome seperatley, whereas - in camera just desaturates the color channels, you'd have to try it to beleive me.


    try using the channel mixer ( click the monochrome box )- make the blue channel -20, red +60, and green +60

    then mess with the sliders to see the variety of tonage you can acheive - not to mention if you arent out to shoot BW - its nice to have a color version too

    At the risk of sounding completely stupid (well at least very inexperienced with photoshop) what are the overlay tools, and where can one find them?

    I searched help for info in Photoshop, that didn't really help. Is there somewhere where I can find more detailed explanation?

    I loved the effect, would like to have a go at reproducing it, but am just going around in circles getting nowhere.

    I have photoshop 7. I can normally do basic tasks, but I must be looking in the wrong spot for this......

    Thanks

    Once you create a layer, there's a box in the layer window that defaults to "normal". You know, like what none of us here are. Just click on the dropdown arrow and you'll see "overlay" amongst about a dozen other choices.
