![]() If you are colorizing that photo, and trying to use the color blending mode, I would make sure you bottom layer, is desatureted first, so you don't get any weird results with softlight. You can alway replace any Sepia like effects later. |

![]() Looking pretty good. I know you're still working on it, but thought I'd throw in a couple of thoughts on it - you can still tell that it is a colorized B&W as opposed to a color photo from the shadows on the face (well, obviously also from the parts that aren't colored yet, but...that's not the point =). The shaded areas on the face still come through as grey. What it needs, as DG mentioned, is to be shaded with a bit more color that actually represents the shadow as opposed to a flesh color that covers that shadow area. |
