What's it called?

TonyCooper

I've been looking for a Photoshop tutorial on coloring photos to
give them that 1940s color print look with exaggerated colors.

I can't think of what it would be called, though. If I could, I'd link
to a sample. But, without coming up with the right term to
describe it, I can't even Google for an image.

I'd like to render a new image in black & white and then paint
in the colors with the brush set to Color.

you mean sepia ?

You can create a Polaroid effect in Photoshop, but it isn't done by converting to B&W and then painting in the color.

Not sepia, not Polaroid. Just extremely saturated colors.

Kodacolor gone rogue. Something like this, but even more
saturated on the reds and primary colors.

dont know

you could try a warming filter
image - adjustment - photo filter

then add some grain
filter - filter gallery -texture - grain and choose a grain type

if you apply these on layers , you have even more options to play with

Just boost those colors with selective color and hue/saturation. By the way, is your monitor calibrated?



Alternative method: Convert to Lab mode and steepen the a and b curves.

the funny thing is that there is a "kodacolor" word on the picture you provided.
All I had to do is to grab that word, and put it into.. you guess it! google!

I think you might mean some of the Velvia presets and actions - try googling that and see if it brings up what you're looking for

Michael Gray over at www.lifeindigitalfilm.com had a number of presets for various film stocks. I believe they're still available at the x= blog.

Thanks for the reply. No, I don't have a calibration device. What I see on the
screen is very close to what I get when I print, so I haven't gone the
calibration device route.

I've been using the Lab mode conversion techniques for quite some time on
photos where I want that extra pop. It was in one of the Kelby books I
read some time ago.
