You don't want to apply the colour styles of today to a bygone era.
Keep in mind that colourizing old black & white images also requires a far bit of planning to determine what colours should be used. Zooming in very close is essential to creating these tight selections. Colourizing black & white images requires creating very tight selections around elements in the image. In this example of an old historic photograph, the tress, sky and building have been colourized. layers are discussed under the Layers button.)Īnother common example for the use of sections is to aid in colourize Black & White images. (It should be noted that the colour was actually applied to a blank transparent layer that was placed over the image, thereby not affecting the image directly. Many different colours can be applied this way to help determine a colour for a wall. Colour was then applied to the selection without effecting the rest of the image. Zooming in close allowed for very tight selections around these contours. As before a selection was needed to isolate part of the image, in this case the left wall was selected, but accurate selections were necessary to select around the outside of certain objects in the picture such as the picture frame, the couch edge and the table items. In this example the colour green is being tested on the wall. The Blur effect is then applied to the background without effecting the foreground player.ĭemonstrates a simple way to do a colour test on a wall before actually buying any paint. However, because the Motion Blur needs to be applied to the background, the section is then reversed, meaning the background is now selected. To accomplish this the foreground player needed to be completely selected, isolating those pixels from the rest of the image. To indicate speed, a Motion Blur effect is applied to the background without affecting the foreground player. Therefore the section tools were used to isolate only the foreground part of the image thereby leaving sky unaffected by any changes. The selected area was then lightened to bring out the detail without affecting the sky. In the left side of the image all of the foreground (buildings, trees and part of the river) were selected thereby isolating their pixels from the rest of the image. The right side of the image is the original image.
The sky is perfect but the foreground is too dark. Because it is a low light shot, the camera picks up the brightness of the sky at the expense of darkening the foreground. In the following three examples, selections were used to modify parts of an image while leaving the unselected parts untouched:ĭisplays a cityscape at night. A digital camera that can take a 10MB picture will have resolution size of 3664 x 2748 pixels or 10,068,672 pixels in total.Ĭreating a selection around a specific part of an image will allow you to modify just those pixels in that part of the image. The example on the right shows the original image and a highly zoomed-in portion of the image displaying some of the image's pixels. You don't see the pixels in an image in GIMP unless you increase the zoom well over 100%. Each pixel contains a single colour and are very small. All raster images are made up of " Pixels".
