Week 3 | Recolouring B&W photo- Advanced level

Recolouring black and white photo using photoshop is the new technique that we learnt this week. We began the class by doing the exercise steps by steps.

1. Copy skin photo from the other photo.

2. Paste the photo into the main photo and use eyedropper tool [I] to select the suitable skin colours and use brush tool to mark it at the corner for later use.

3. Same as the previous step, copy the hair photo from other pictures and copy to the main photo here then paste it and eyedropper the hair colour at the corner.

 

4. Use quick selection tool [W] to select the skin and mask it. Select the mask and use the refine edge brush tool, adjust the smart radius to refine the edge of the selection.

5. Once done, select the solid colour and use eyedropper to choose the most suitable hair colour from the corner there, drag the mask to the solid colour bar there and change the blending option into soft light.

 For the following part of the pictures, I repeated the steps above to colour all the part.

AND HERE'S THE FINAL OUTCOME FOR TODAY EXERCISE!

In the third assignment, I applied previous technique in this b&w photo to recolour it.
