Stefan´s image editing colouring of Picasso

As a contribute to Rikk Flohr´s questiong whether this photo editing forum is dead or not, here is my contribution. I made a few simple steps image editing and colouring an old low res photo I found of Pablo Picasso.

I used PHOTO-PAINT X5.

I first resized the image brutally, useally never do so as my images useally are of much better size and quality. But I did, and I increased the size about 40%. I thought the image to small for this excersize.

  1. Resized the image
  2. Tone curve LENS object (Object Docker)
  3. Sharpen LENS Object (Object docker)
  4. Photo filter LENS object (Object docker)
  5. Erased parts of the photo filter.
  6. I set all Lens objects except tone curve, witha opacity lower, to make each LENS object transparant.
  7. I contunied using individual objects with colour and different brush nibs for painting & erasing, and set the opacity continously on lower, for transparancy reason.

Hope you enjoy this one.
Colouring and for that matter restoring old photos can be a painstaking exercise, and some are really good at it. My girlfriend for example is really good at it.

My exercise with this one was to fairly quickly do something with an old photo. As if I was on a tight deadline.

I havent done to many things with this one, but it hopefully shows how some things can be done in a very quck way.

  • Hi Stefan,
    1. Excellent work
    2. Do you use Curves in the Lab color mode. I would be lost without
    them.
