![]() TIP: Press Command + (PC: Ctrl + ) to zoom in, and Command – (PC: Ctrl -) to zoom back out of your document. So as I being to paint the little girls dress, this is what I see: The neat bit is what you do in one window happens simultaneously in the other. This is going to allow us to be zoomed in really far on the image in one window, and still see what the image looks like at its normal size in another. Step 5: Since we’re about to embark upon a bit of detail work, I’m going to share a workspace trick with you before we start painting. ![]() Pick a nice pastel color from the resulting color picker and press OK. Step 4: Press B to select the Brush tool, and click on the foreground color chip at the bottom of the main Toolbar. This will allow the detail of the image to show through the paint, instead of the paint being a solid coat. Step 3: Change the blending mode of the new layer to either Color or Overlay, as shown below. This is where the new paint will live, so that we don’t screw up the original photo. Step 2: Create a new layer by clicking the New Layer button at the bottom of the Layers Palette. If you’re going to print the image on your home color inkjet or if the image is destined to live out its life only on screen, then go with RGB.

Step 1: Choose Image > Mode and make sure the document is set to either RGB or CMYK.

As a bonus, I’ll show you how to change your mind and recolorize the color you just added. Using the cutest photo *ever* (snatched from ), I’m going to show you the trick to adding color while retaining all the glorious detail of the photo. The problem, though, is that while you would succeed in adding color to the photo, you would systematically destroy any detail it once contained. It’s a really simple technique that’s fun to use, it’s great for creating visual interest, and drawing attention to a certain portion of a photo.Īdmittedly, the process of colorizing a grayscale photo certainly seems straight forward enough, in that it probably involves grabbing a paint brush and painting color onto the image itself. What I’m going to show you today is how to apply a new color to a naked image, so to speak. ![]() ![]() Now, this isn’t to be confused with taking a color image and removing its color, only to add some of it back in certain places.
