I can't get it to do "color balance"...

[Larrister]

Hi Akira,

Has this photo been "desaturated" as I cant get Photoshop to colorize it. I have found that any photos that have their original colors altered are very hard to colorize. Anyone else having problems?

Have just worked it out. Larrister

This is so much fun! Thanks for the instructions!

[Matt Starr]

Its very interesting but I've found it to also be very time consuming!!
Nice one Rolf,
I'm going to start off with an easier picture than the car one

Just a quick question for the contest. I am not an uniform expert so is it a crime if there is a mistake in the colour choice ?
Btw which color should the stripe on the 2d soldier from the right be ?

[Akira Takiguchi]

It can never be a crime, but certainly correct colors should score better than incorrect ones... Colorizing needs good knowledge, it's a great chance to learn, I think!

But as I had written, even if a color is different from the original, if it is convincing enough, you may still win "the most convincing award!"

[Sebastian Bianchi]

Very interesting! I love these color pictures.... I need to make the time to learn... I also have photoshop 8, but have hardly used it.
