I want to colour just parts of an old black and white photo and add very subtle pink cheeks to the subject.......how can I do this in photo paint.....there must be a tutorial somewhere but everything I google search comes up with photoshop tutorials
What I do, including infomation Jeff Harrison posted a while back.
Save the image as a CPT file.
Convert it to RGB or CMYK.
If the image is saved as a Background, Duplicate it and delete the Background version. Change the Merge mode to Multiply.
Any colors you wish to add should be on Objects below the main image and Normal Merge. Use the Paint Too to add color. I use a different layer for each color with lighter color below darker most of the time. Using different layers you can adjust the opacity to change the depth of the color.
The attached is done rather quickly and I am not happy with the tones but you can see how it was done.
Thanks Jack :)
I managed to do it using colour as the merg mode but I will definately have a go at this method also
In some very old black and white photos I have seen online the skin on the faces are smooth like porcelain dolls compared to the before photos....how is this look achieved in Corel Photo Paint?
