its awesome but i dont know hoe to open an image with ps in photoshop
I like the result at step three. Playing with the hue and saturation gives the image a vintage look and
suits it.
Thanks for sharing this useful and interesting article on photo editing.

After selecting the new layer(which you have created for coloring) go to the Layer > Layer
Style > Blending Options and then change Blend Mode from Normal to Soft Light.
OR
On the right hand side in the photoshop window there is LAYERS option. Expand this
LAYERS option by clicking on it and change the Blend Mode from Normal to Soft Light.

Thanks! My photo looks awesome now. Sorry, Im a photoshop noob, but on step four, when it says to
use a hard brush, i was a little puzzled, and my sister had to do it for me but she couldnt explain
what the hard brush was. How do you get it, if you would? :] Thanks.
Love u

From the menu at the top of the screen, go to Layer > New > Layer. A pop up box will appear.
Leave everything as the default setting apart from Mode. From the drop down menu, select Soft
Light. Click OK. Make sure this new layer is selected, then go to the Brush tool and paint over
the picture in the colours you want, using a suitable sized brush too (it may not necessarily be
48px.
Uuu Chey :D Im a big fan of Cheyenne Kimball :) Love TO Chey <3 Thank you for this wonderful
image :) and WONDERFUL is a Cheyenne song :D LOL :D

Very good tutorial, but perhaps you should mention something about the copyrights of the original
image such as is it free to edit and publish around or not.

You will need to select the layer you want to convert first. Which here, will be the background
image.

Simply change the blend mode of the layer, then paint (using brush) like what you see from the
sample above.

You can see the blend mode selection on top left of the layer palette?
This is a prett cool tutorial nice. i guess the coloring effect will vary from pick to pick like that other
dude said cuz mine end up coming out a bit less than expected I usually convert my pics to black in
white/greyscale in some manner to experiment with effects. ill check out that gradient idea someone
posted on here too. i use Elements 7 and CS4. Thanks fer the posting!
oh and one quick question to anyone who happens to pass by this and knows the answer: What kind
of guitar (i know its a Gibson) is that Kimball is holding??? What model/make? im dying to have sumn
like that but its so hard to find, even on Gibsons website
ento , eu travei na etapa numero 4, nao sei o que Soft Light Blend Mode , nem onde ela se situa,
entao me ajudem, por que ja tentei

Coloring Effects kailoon.com http://kailoon.com/photo-edit-coloring-effects/
assim quando vc cria um new layer, (na mesma caixinha onde ficam os layers) tem uma
barrinha assim:
Normal
Clica nela e escolhe soft light. ^^
pronto.
I dont get Step 5.How can the original photo still in the same state as after Hue/saturation when you
have already done Step 4?Can you please show the layer box as well while youre doing the
blur?Thanks!
I never get in the step 3.need more specific details about that.

Meh, when I paint over the picture, it turns out as black and white colours, please help me people!!
I cant do the fourth step :S The Brush dont have any colour.
yeah they do you just put a color on the color tablet in the bottom left corner of your tools .
anyways i expected this tutorial to be just a simple hued picture with a gradient over it so ya
proved me wrong keep up with the tutorials.
Thanks for the tutorial it will be useful in the future! My picture came out amazing.
This effect Rocks! I love it and it took me less than five minutes to do for the first time! Cant wait to
use it on more photos!!!!

Using a gradient with blending mode set to soft light, pretty much gives the same result.

@> : Thanks!:)
@> Aeres: Yup, try and error is always the best way :)
leaving a hint of the original colours, instead go going pure greyscale, would produce more interesting
hues though. Like what Loon has done here.Alternatively, you can play around with the layer order or
the blending mode to see what works.
nice:P
wootpro is talking :P hehe..yup, definitely agree with you cometh :), It is always easy to start editing
with a black and white photo :)
Well, basically different pictures will get different effects according to the original state of the picture
itself. For example the contrast, the lighting and stuff.
However if you want standardization, one can always make it black and white and start from there.
Even then, the level and intensity of the black over the white will cause different effects
But the techniques are roughly like what is stated in my opinion and it is up to individuals to adjust the
