Colour in black and white digital image

how do i colour in a black and white digital image please. I have never used this programme before, so any idiots guide you can give me would be great.

Go to Image Menu>Mode and be sure that RGB color is checked
Open your image, duplicate the background layer, shut off the visibility of this layer by clicking on the eye icon, and work on background copy layer
Set your foreground color chip to red (I used this for the blouse)
In the tool box, activate the magic wand tool. On the tool's option bar, check "contiguous", and set tolerance to 40.
Click on the blouse. You will see "marching ants", indicating that the blouse is selected
Go to Edit menu>Fill selection and under contents use foreground color
Press CTRL+D on keyboard to get rid of the marching ants
Next I worked on the skirt with green foreground color, and repeated steps 2-5. And so on .
Note, that in order to get a clean selection you may have to reduce the tolerance setting. For the skirt-hem, I had to go down to 8 in each pleat.
Here is a partially completed rendition for your reference.

Getting a grain effect in Black and white digital images

How do I achieve a grain effect on my digital black and white images.
Could you send me tips to [email protected]??
Thanks,

Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
1 - Please do not use your e-mail address in these forums - it will attract SPAM to you and SPAMMERS to the forum - and the host probably will edit it out
2 - re B&W - not that iPhoto will only wrk with RGB photos so even if they are B&W they need the sRGB profile
3 - to do sophisticated editing (like adding effects - i.e. grain) you need a third party editor - like PhotoShop Elements - iPhoto is a great but pretty much consumer level photo management system

How to convert a black and white tif image to colour

I want to convert a black and white tif image to colour. I opened it in Photoshop, changed the mode to RGB colour/8, saved it as psd, but when I use the Replace Colour dialogue box, I just get my colour showing as grey-scale. What’s the correct way to proceed?
Thank you

What’s the correct way to proceed?
Joke?
In Photoshop there are often more ways than one to achieve a task and none of them need be considered »wrong« as long as the result fits the intention, so »the correct way« seems to be problematic terminology.
Anyway, one can use a Layer set to Blend Mode Color and paint on that with whatever colors.
Or one can use Solid Color Layers set to Blend Mode Color.
Or Hue/Saturation Layers …
To edit contrast if necessary Curves or Levels Adjustment Layers can be employed.
You could also have googled »photoshop colorize black and white« …

Colouring Black and White video images

My son (14 years) has just found an interest in colouring black and white film footage and is finding it a very pain staking process. I am looking to assist him with some software to make the process easier but don't really know where to start him off. I am currently using Photoshop elements and Lightroom myself for the restoration of old Black and White still images, but he is looking to work with video files. Is anyone able to provide some advice as to where top start and which Adobe applications may suit this. I appreciate any input.

My screen is now a black and white negative image - can I reverse it to col

After 3 small children were near my computer - it was turned on , the screen is now black and white like a negative image, when starting up the initial checks of firewall etc are displayed on the normal colour screen then as soon as the start up is over it goes to Black and white. I have been through the settings on the computer but can not find any changes that have occured - I suspect the 3 toddlers have pressed everything at once
Can anyone tell me how I can get the colour back?

Open the Universal Access pane of System Preferences
and turn off the White on Black option under Seeing,
as well as any other options which may have been
inadvertently turned on or changed, such as the
contrast.

Colour hues - black and white prints

I've just replaced the ink cartridges in my hp photosmart printer, and now images that are black and white on my computer print out with a pinky yellow hue? How do I fix this
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Please read this post then provide some details. What printer model? What operating system? It sounds like your printer is not properly printing cyan. If you are printing photo's the printer will generally not use black ink, it will mix the colors because the pigmented black ink is not compatible with photo paper.

How do you invert a black and white photo image on a Mac?

I have some glass plate black and white negatives that I would like to scan into my Mac and then invert the images to generate the photo. I have Aperture installed already but I can't seem to just have it invert the scanned image. Is there another way to do this with just the photos? I can't seem to do it with iPhoto or Preview either.

William answered this already, but since I made a screenshot, I don't want to waste it:
Set the "Range" to "Normal" before you drag the control points on the RGB curve up and down. That is easier,when inverting the curve. It tends to wiggle, and "Normal" will constrain it to the range you want.
After you defined this adjustment for one of your scans, lift and stamp it to the other scans or save it as an effect from the "Effects" panel.
Then you only have to adjust the curves once.

Make Colour Film Black and White

Sorry about this but I can not find how to make my colour video into a black and white film.

You'll need a reverse telecine scan to film for that.
Or if you want to fake the look in FCP, try this: remove the saturation in the 3 way color corrector, then with the brightness and contrast filter play with contrast to get a pleasing look.

How do I smooth black and white scanned image?

I am trying to edit some scanned images that appear to be printed on linen with the pixels showing. I scanned them at the highest quality possible but that didn't help. So, I tried editing using the blur feature. Not only is that quite time consuming but I fear I am losing some of the quality of the image by doing it this way. Where do I begin and what steps do I follow to take out the checkered effect?

Over the years I have backed up my ifoto albums on discs. Now with the new ifoto in 10.7.5 I can't see the fotos from five year old discs--only a dotted line outline of the fotos, all black and white; no images. What gives? and how can I view them?

Over the years I have backed up my ifoto albums on discs. Now with the new ifoto I cannot see any fotos when I insert the 'old' discs, just dotted lines around where the foto should be. How can I view the fotos? They were backed up for security, but now they are so secure I can't view them! Help!

If you're running iPhoto 9.5 you'll need to follow these directions in order to view disk created by previous versions of iPhoto:
1 - Copy the library from the disk to the Desktop.
2 - Double click on the iPhoto Library Upgrader tool to launch it and select the library on the desktop to convert.
3 - Once that is done you can open it with iPhoto 9.5.

I have an epson printer epson stylus office BX625 FWD that will only print in black and white on my PC it prints full colour

i am unable to print in colour only black and white where as my PC prints all day in colour

What does airprint have to do with printing in bw vs in color? The user hasn't even stated which printing method they use.
I watched your video the other week after seeing you post it in a thread where you also suggested to it to be the solution. The video could not have been more off topic and was the biggest waste of anybody's time. So it is completely suspect when you keep injecting your youtube video in several threads.
There's a few things that changed when it comes to printing and scanning in Yosemite.
The first order of business is that users should get the latest driver for their device/printer/scanner. That will get them up and running before they even finished taking notes while watching videos.

Can I desaturate to Black and white but retain one colour??????????

Hi there,
I'm trying to get a desaturated effect on a sequence that gently fades from full colour to Black and white over the course of a minute. My question is: Can I retain one colour (ala rumble fish or Schindlers list) whilst everything else turns to black and white? I want the colour red to be retained. Anyone know an easy(ish) solution?
Thanks in Advance

Pixma printer adding color while trying to print black and white.

I've had this printer (Pixma MG5320) for about a year and a half now and recently noticed a problem with it. I have been doing a lot of black and white photography lately (both digital and analog), and every black and white photo I print has some color fo it. For instance I printed out a black and white digital picture I took recently that I edited using Nik's Silver Efex Pro. Instead of the picture coming out black and white, it has an orange/red hue to it throughout the image, yet on my monitor it is void of all colors (except shades of black and white of course). A few months ago I tried to print another picture, and it had a blueish/green hue printed throughout the picture as well.
I am printing all these photos via Photoshop, and even went into the settings to click on "grayscale printing" but the problem still persists. The printer does this with both brand new ink cartridges and ones that have been used before. I can't figure out if there is some odd setting in Photoshop that I may have accidently messed around with (though there really shouldn't be), or if it's an issue with the printer itself. If I print a color photo, all the colors seem about right and I don't notice an off hue on any of them.
Does anyone know what could cause this? I am just trying to troubleshoot the whole ordeal because it's gotten to the point where printing b&w photos is not in question until I figure this issue out.

Only prints black and white

my sisters brand new Envy 5660 printer only prints in black and white.
i've been all over the net and my iMac trying to figure out what the problem, but to no avail.
i've looked for the paper type/ quality etc settings that were soloutions to other problems but those options are not on my computer. i've gone through every menu both on the printer and in multiple of my programs in an effort to try and change some setting that is telling this printer not to print colour. i have opened the printer settings and my computer settings and nothing has given me the option to make it print either in colour or black and white.
what the heck?
the closest solution i could find was that someone uninstalled and reinstalled the printer and it helped for a time, until she had to repeat the same thing. that can not be a feasible solution, and my first guess would be that there is an issue with the printer.
however, if there is something i'm overlooking, can you please let me know? i'm annoyed at the moment, and its not even my printer...
This question was solved.

well crap, eh?
i appreciate you trying to help...my sister was the one who picked up the printer and tried to pair it with my computer but i guess we're out of luck. i'll try another inkjet driver, but i won't get my hopes up.
sucks, since my computer isn't really THAT old (2009) but i guess that's ancient in the computer world.
thanks again.
