coloring Coloring a black and white image with Photoshop

Heres a quick and easy way to color black and white images in Photoshop.

1. Open your black and white image in Photoshop

2. Copy the image onto a new layer

3.Select the paint brush tool and set the mode to “color”. I set it at 80 percent opacity. You can use whatever opacity setting you like however.

4. Start coloring it in. Decide what items should have what colors.
Yellow for the gloves, blue for overalls etc etc.

5. While coloring, I choose a darker color for the areas with more shadows.
I used two colors in this step for the face.
