Default 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

Before and after:

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

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.

Thanks for the kind words folks, it's much appreciated .

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

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.
