Photography Question 

Janice Granger
 

What is this process called?


What is the process called when a picture is in black and white with a touch of color (example: a bow in a child's hair)? How is process done and what software is used to create that image?

Thanks,

Jan Granger

I have done this in the program I used called Microsoft ProDigital. After turning the photo black and white, or sepia in this case, I used the colorization tool. I choose a color for the roses then used my mouse to simply paint over the rose. I have attached the picture below. I believe that Photoshop has another way of actually bringing back the color of the original photo in chosen areas. A fabulous example of this is in Mellanie White's member gallery on a photo called Sleeping Cherub (one of my favorites.) You should take a look and if that is what you mean, contact Mel.

  Thanks, Kimberly for directing me to the right place. Mellanie's photos are awesome. Just what I was looking for.
