How to determine the real colors in a black and white photo?

I don't know if I'm in the right section, but I wonder if it is possible to use an Adobe program to restore real colors in a black and white photo? I want to add color by imagining or guess; I need determine the real colors. This may not even be possible, but if this is the case, please tell me what I can use.

Thank you.

That's where the art comes into play when they colorize old movies.

A lady wearing a pretty dress: is it greeen or purple?  It seems gray.

A baby comes home from the new baby clothes cute hospital: pink or blue?  They have light gray air.

It's a nice tie school the guys to wear: use the colors wrong on the bands, and it is in a different school.  But they are nothing more than various shades of gray.

If there is one thing missing in a B & W photograph, every vestige of the color information.   All you have is gray.   You may need TO determine the real colors, but without a color photo to use as a reference image, you are out of luck.

  • Anyone know how to make a splash of color to a black and white photo?

    Good so I scoured internet and I still have not found an answer to this question. All I'm trying to do is make one part of the image of color and the rest always black and white. The original photo I have is black and white and I would like to make this very clear: I don't want the entire image colorized. Yes, there is someone who really knows how to do this?

    This is a very common technique, because it turns out, and there are tons of ways to get there.

    Starting with brute force and back, create an empty layer above your B & W layer. Set the blending Mode of the layer of the Virgin of color.

    Choose the color that you want to work, take a brush (B) and go to town. The blending mode to show through values (grey levels). You can paint with colors you like on this mixed layer.

    If you use only a single color, but it may change from time to time (say by brand or something), to re-learn a layer of white, use a color fill layer (layer > new fill layer > solid color). In this case, you would add a layer of fill color, fill the black mask, and then paint with white on the mask to reveal the color.

    If you want to keep the original in one place color, replace the white layer with the color version and use the masking technique just described.

    Let me know if you need help on any of these details and I'll try to find some specific tutorials for you online.

  • How to remove the unwanted parts of drawing black and white line

    I scanned in a flower art simple black and white lines.  I would like to remove some of the petals in Photoshop.  How can I do?

    Thank youFlower003.jpg

    I would like to remove the petals from the background.

    1 method: with the select magic wand the white bg, select-> invert the selection and create a layer mask.

    The layer mask is a monochrome picture, transparent black, white is opaque and anything in between is more or less transparent.

    You can now select the layer mask, use the brush and black paint, where you want to have something white, removed where you want to have something added. It is non-destructive and works very well on your photo.

    You can use shift click to 'draw' the small lines to attach to the top. According to the clarification, it will take more or less time. As I said are non-destructive.

    Second method: you use the pen to draw the lines around your flower vectors. With little exercise, you'll very quickly and you can always adjust the curvature of your curve, by pulling on the handles of the curve. Here you can see how it works: drawing with the pen in Photoshop tools .

    When done with the pen tool, you can add the vector line as a vector mask. You can even refine your mask after finishing. I suggest, since a mask of course work at a refined mask.

    The flower should not be on a layer, a background layer. Basemap layers have no transparency. The two methods are non-destructive, so you can return to the original image or parts of it, whenever you want.

  • How can I get my photos from Windows Gallery to view and print in color, not just black and white?

    How can I get my Windows Gallery pictures to view and print in chiputa, not just black and white?

    Hi Petergrossman,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

    I need few details about the question you posted.

    * What are the name and model of the printer?
    * You receive driver updates for your printer through Windows Update?
    * The printer prints the other applications in color?

    In the meantime, try the following steps.
     
    1. try to print the default pictures in Windows Photo Gallery and check if you get a printing color.
     
    2. try to uninstall the printer driver and reinstall it.

    Also check the setting of the color of the printer. Go to printer settings and make sure that you have selected the option to color.

    To print a picture, follow these steps: -.

    If you have a printer connected to your computer, you can make prints of digital photos. The quality of your photos depends on several factors, including the type of printer paper, ink and the settings of the printer of your choice. You can control many of these settings when you print the picture, but keep in mind that the overall quality and resolution of the digital picture you are printing will affect your final result.

    1. open Windows Photo Gallery by clicking on the Start button, all programs, and then clicking Windows Photo Gallery.

    2. click on the image you want to print.

    To select more than one picture, hold down the CTRL key while you click the pictures that you want to select.

    3. on the toolbar, click on print and then click on print.

    4. in the print pictures dialog box, select the printer, paper size, qualite quality print, style print and number of copies to print.

    5. When you have finished choosing how you want to print your photos, click Print to start printing.

    Choose printing options follow these steps: -.

    Before you send a print job to the printer, decide if you want to print all or part of the document or Web page. You may, for example, annotate the pages to print or select a part of a document before sending it to the printer.

    Here are common printing tasks to consider:

    1. to print that a hollering part of a document or a file, make a note of the page numbers for each page you want to print.
    2. If you want to print part of a page or a Web page only, select the content to print before printing.
    3. If you want to print a specific page, click anywhere on the page before choosing the print options for the document.
    4. the page that you clicked becomes the current page and you can print it by selecting this option in the print dialog box.

    After deciding what to print, choose how the print copies should look, and then select a printer.
    Use print preview

    To see what the print will look like before you print it, open the document in a program that offers a preview before printing. Print preview is generally located in the file menu of a program. You should be able to get an overview of each page of the document. In some programs, you can choose print in preview mode options and then print directly from the preview. In other programs, you will need to close the preview, change the document or your printer settings and print.

    If you preview or print a document, and it does not appear the way that you intended, you will need to change the document or change your print options. For example, if one part of your document fits on the printed page, you may need to reduce the font size, reduce the margins, or change the page layout and then try to print again.

  • Black and white photos at the start of printing OK then turns reddish, changed the cartridges, same problem

    HP Photosmart C4600 all in one printer, HP, Windows7 desktop. When I try to print copies of old black & white photos, on premium Matt paper or any document (I tried all), with settings for grayscale or black and white, printing starts OK (black & white) and soon begins to print with a reddish tint. I changed the cartridge back & White 3 times with the HP cartridges and the problem persists. I cleaned my print heads, the problem persists, I tried various other parameters without result. Finally, I gave up and I went back to my old Epson 15 year for problem free Photo printing. How can this problem be fixed? Thank you!

    When you print graphics color cartridges are usually used to print even black and white.  In addition, when printing on the paper color photo is always used as the pigmented black ink cartridge is not compatible with the photo paper.

    It would seem that your color ink runs out.  See the troubleshooting steps described in this page.  Most likely, you need a fresh color cartridge.

    Hello

    This happens usually if the print options or preferences are changed for your printer. To select print options, you must open the image you want to print. Most print options are located in the print dialog box, which you can access on the file menu in the program that you are using. The options that are available to you depend on the program and the printer you use.
     
    To access some options, you may need to click on the link 'Options' or 'Advanced Options' button or tab in the print dialog box. To learn more about the print options for a program, see the information for the program.
     
    Printing options are determined by your printer capabilities are called printing preferences and may include printing separation pages, color or image quality options and Staples. Like program options, printing preferences are displayed in the print dialog box. Look for the buttons labeled "Préférences" or "Properties". You can choose preferences each time you print a picture or preferences to default configuration to use for all the photos you send to a printer.
     
    Try these steps and check the result.
    Step 1: Set the default printing preferences.
    1. Click here to open Printers.
    2 right-click the printer you want to use, and then click Printing Preferences.
    3. Select the preferences you want to use as the default the next time you print to the printer, and then click OK.
     
    Step 2: Use print preview:
    To see what the print will look like before you print it, open the picture in Windows Photo Gallery that offers a preview before printing. Print preview is typically located on the file menu. You can choose the print in preview mode options and then print directly from the preview.
