Photoshop Video Tutorial

Here is a terrific Photoshop video tutorial that shows you how to easily change a black and white photograph to color.

The video demonstrates how you firstly create and name a layer within photoshop. Next you select the pen tool and outline the image, specifically the skin areas. As the photoshop video tutorial shows, you need to trace the eyes and mouth to exclude them before adding a color to the layer. Photoshop lasso tool and layers are also used to color the eyes.

The after photograph in this example does seem like the original, however the video tutorial still effectively demonstrates the general idea of how to turn your old black and white photos into color.

Note: The software used in this tutorial is Adobe Photoshop.

Have fun changing all the old family photos into color before including them on your personal websites :)
