Photoshop Colourising Filter
 

Being a little bored during lockdown, the other day I decided to have a play around in Photoshop with an old photo of my parents wedding.

I cleaned up the old photo, removing old dust marks, scratches etc, had a fiddle with contrast and white balance etc, added a slight soft focus filter, then for good measure added some colour. Quite pleased with the result :xmas-smiley-008:

A great result and it’s a great skill to have being able to master PS, I keep saying I’ll take a course but never got round to it

Definitely haven't mastered it, but it's good fun learning. Plenty of YouTube videos that help out whenever I get stuck, and it's surprising what can be achieved with a little patience :icon_lol:

That's incredible!

I've tried the colourising filter but the results have been very poor. It's worked excellently here though!

Far better than those tints we tried to add to B/W prints when I was a kid,, impressive.

That is fantastic. Over Christmas I have been re-framing some of my own wedding photo's and wishing they had been in colour. After seeing what is possible I might have a go at this.

That really is amazing.---:bowdown:---I wish I had that sort of patience.

Made them both look younger too. Well done.

Thanks for the kind words folks, it's much appreciated :xmas-smiley-008:.

With regard to the colourising, most of the "heavy lifting" was achieved with the Photoshop neural filter. After that, it was just a case of upping the vibrance of the colours, and manually colouring some areas that the filter had left in greyscale.


All good fun, and the ideal task for a cold damp day when you can't get out :}

agree
 

It looks much more relaxing than mending the washing machine like I've been doing! I love the way that the priest comes more in focus as well as the foreground, it makes an old world new again.
