Week 6

Manual Recoloring

This week is another online class, after checking the previous assignment which is the Hearst Mansion, the lecturer gave us an assignment to recolor black and white pictures.

First, i did the face by creating a layer and using brush tool to color all parts of the face until the neck, then blend it into overlay

Coloring the lips

Third, the hair

The eyes

The eyebrows

Next the shirt

Lastly, the background

Every layer in the photo is using overlay as the blending mode

Advanced Recoloring

This is the advanced version from the picture above

Firstly, I used these two pictures to get the Highlights, Midtones, Shadows color for the picture, the left is for Hair color and the middle is for skin color, by using the eyedropper tool i can identify the colors to use to color this picture

I started off with the earring first, masking the earring then make a solid color, drag the mask to the solid color and change the blending mode to soft light

Next i did the hair, with the same step but i refined it more using the refine brush tool to make it smoother and change the blending mode to soft light

Third i did the face and repeating the same step like before but this time the blending mode is color

For the lips and teeth is a little tricky, because the quick selection tool automize the selection of its surroundings, it is hard for me to mask out the teeth

Doing the fur the easiest part of this picture because it is in such a big scale and the quick selection tool can pick it up

Lastly i did the background by creating a new layer then edit > fill > change the contents to color then, using the object selection tool i mask the person and mask it then right click the mask then click add mask to selection layer then apply it to the fill background

Project 2: Digital Imaging exercise 02-PART2

This first picture i did is the president Barack Obama, i do all the colorings manually

The second person i did is this guy, his skin is the most tricky part for me because of finding the color that suit his skin and the blending mode

The third person is this Korean singer, this picture is the easiest for me to color because of his atmosphere giving a cool guy vibe, and the technique i used is a mixed between the Advanced Recolor and Manual Recolor, i only did his eyes manually to give a slight color and the rest is using mask

Final Results (Before and After Respectively)
