    I've tried to watch the other tutorials and honestly NONE of them were as simple as this one! I am a photoshop noob so even the most "simple" things, I don't understand. Besides that, this tutorial is useful for Windows AND Mac users!! love it! I really loved the way you explain everything. :)

    This tutorial is so easy to follow and I love the way you repeat the information multiple times. Very good pacing, pleasant voice, simple instructions. Great job.

    Your steps make this colouring quick and fast, which is good. I mainly colour war photos and I just tend to use my wacom tablet and paint it with the brush tool. It makes it so much easier and more precise.

    You can also use a gradient adjustment layer to get more variations in color. Works good on trees where different tones of brightness in the leaves will show up as different shades of green, for instance.

    A tutorial just the way I like it. Short how to do explanations, no "umms and amms", we could or we should or maybe not remarks - strait foreward going explainings. Very, very good job, Marty! Greetings from Germany!

    tremendous tutorial; I used these principles to colorize a nice pic of mom & dad, was a bit complicated by green shubbery behind them and a pine tree in front of them; would love for you to take a look.

      i don't know what is your problem, i like Blue lightning tv channel and my judgment is not your business, if you have problem with him , don't watch his channel, it's not an obligating course! you can't force your arrogant opinion on other people, go some where else seek for attention

  • @brooksiarphotography
    @brooksiarphotography 8 років тому

    Marty it was a great tutorial, however those eyes seem funky to me. I thought maybe once you got back from painting the face that you would adjust those greens on her eyes but you did not. Is it just me, or do they look too green/solid? I'm sure you could just bump the opacity down a bit to show off the actual cornea design but they stood out to me upon completion of the video. Sorry for the long winded reply. Just a weird observation.

    • @rioreason
      @rioreason 7 років тому

      Gabi C Gabi C depends on the situation. If the image is a soft copy (developed, printed, etc) and you don't have it digitally, then a scanner would be your best bet. Don't try to photograph it if that's what you're asking - it will just give you more work in Photoshop trying to crop or fix weird angles because you'd need a level to get your camera aimed perfectly straight at the photo. If it's something already on your camera, go ahead and transfer the file right to your computer. You would definitely get the best clarity with a modern DSLR, but depending on the ppi (pixels per inch) you set the scan to, you could technically get approximately equivalent resolutions. I hope that was helpful.
