Helo guys.. is there any websites on Photoshop to teach u roughly how to edit a pic from B&W to color? My mother just pass me a family photo of her 40yrs ago and ask me if i can make it to color.. ;)

Yeah.. and i dun wanna disappoint her..
Thanks for the replies in advance :)
 

from what i know, its not going to be easy. u will basically have to paint on the colours manually...

there is some aftermarket software though..

Hi,

The technique you mentioned is known as "hand coloring" and Katrin Eismann has a tutorial on it. If you are into retouching, you might want to borrow or buy her books: Photoshop Restoration and Retouching; and, Photoshop Masking and Composition. If possible, get yourself a wacom tablet; it will make your retouching easier.
:thumbsup: good books, and not just for hand colouring :)
