Hi Pros,
Please help me color this black and white photograph. I've tried almost everything, but I

just can't figure out the correct method. I tried using Adjustment layers, Variations,

Masks, almost everything, but I would appreciate if someone can color this photograph for me

and send it on my e-mail id rushab143@gmail.com. Thanks in advance.

Well I tried to see what I could do myself, but no such luck. If you know all the colors of everything you might be able to replace the colors and add new layers for each color you do. Other than that I wish I could have been of more help. Maybe someone else might have better luck.

Best Regards,

Jason :(

I have colorized the photograph rushab143 but, before I submit the project. I would like to know what purposes you will use this for? I'm uneasy letting my work go and people using it for their own gain. So if you would please explain to me what exactly you will do with the photo?

Hey brother, SORRY FOR THE LATE RESPOND and thanks for your involvment. Yeah, i CAN UNDERSTAND your un-eaziness in sharing your works but to be honest I just want to make this couple happy.

The lady you see in this picture is my maid and she came upto me one fine day and asked me if I can colorize this photo because all of her relatives had color albums of thier marriage, she was feeling kinda bad.

This might sound aweful to you brother, but I CARE.

I would be really thankful to you if you can help me make tht poor lady happy.

I suggest that you download this software www.recolored.com.
This can recolored your black and white photos. The system is just too powerful. i was really amazed how it works.

You just have to paint simple colors stroke where you want your colors to be, and the software does the rest. I just love it!

[color=#666666][b]Thanks for your involvement. Someone else also suggested me this s/w but I'm not getting the skin tones anywhere close to the complexion.

It's just like BRUSHES in BLENDING MODES. And I'm sure nothing can ever BEAT Photoshop.
