That takes trial and error. What you see in the foreground color sample is not what you get on the photo. But also, compared to my memory of them, those clothes were seriously faded in the original and the headscarf too yellow, so I corrected for that. Were I to start again on this file, I'd deepen the skin tone I may have left that sepia skin bare , add a tinge more yellow to the scarf, and dab more cyan in the sky.
But since I no longer have access to Photoshop to open the file with all the layers intact, it's going to remain as it is. I can't see a clear advantage in either method, mine or the one in the previous tutorial. Results seem comparable. This does take time, but it can be an absorbing task with rewarding results. Give it a try!
Yes, lots of work. A GIMP learning journey for me and also to bring smiles to all my primary school classmates. About 50 classmates and 15 teachers in there to work on. Noted and thanks for sharing!
Will use some of your tips when I work on the photo. I told my ex classmates that I will have it ready this week. Gee, now more like this quarter! Some time ago I wrote a tutorial on colouring photographs. I don't know if it will help you, but here it is. Make sure the preview checkbox is also checked. Now play around with the levels of the three channels, seeing the results in the preview window.
When you have something that looks decent in the preview, click OK. The advantage of the channel mixer is obviously flexibility.
I like to decompose and examine the individual RGB channels, as we did earlier. That way I can see what is good and bad about each, and then use the channel mixer to combine them accordingly. I liked the blue channel for the great contrast it adds to the scales. I was curious myself, and asked the author of the Channel Mixer, Martin Guldahl, about it. This was his reply:. Apart from that, there are other desaturation modes like Luminance, Luma, Lightness, Average, and Value.
Each mode applies a different shade of black and white to the image that can be further tuned by changing the brightness and color channels. Instead of relying on the tool to provide various modes of grayscale, you can fine-tune the RGB channels manually to get the exact black and white that you need. With the Channel Mixer option, you can customize every part of the image. You can choose the red, green, and blue levels of the image to get the perfect black and white tone you are looking for.
This will turn the image to black and white and open a pop-up window to customize the RGB channels. Now you can play around with these RGB channels to change the tone of the black and white image.
To prevent this brightness issue, you can enable the Preserve Luminosity toggle. It will adjust the RGB layers without affecting the brightness levels. If you are looking for a darker sky, decrease the blue channel level which will make your sky look darker.
This option lessens the luminosities of the color channels while keeping a good visual ratio between them. So, you can change the relative weight of the colors without changing the overall luminosity. Your email address will not be published. We are not associated with them.
Skip to content. This is already a better-looking conversion than using the Desaturate method, but it could still be improved with some tweaking.
Each channel is equally weighted at the start — but not for long! Boosting the Red and Blue channels and reducing the Green creates a high-contrast image. Not enough blue makes the blurred background areas pop strangely. I've tried many image editing programs.
