A historic B&W photo automatically colorized by Adobe Photoshop’s colorizing neural filter. The Colorize button under Neural Filters looks at the image and compares it to millions of other images to decide what colors should be in the photo we have selected. The latest versions of Adobe Photoshop utilize Neural Filters that use AI to analyze a black and white photo and colorize it in seconds.
In the digital era, we can make prints using 100% cotton paper that will last hundreds of years and print with permanent pigment ink that will last for centuries. The big advantage of hand-tinting using Photoshop over hand-tinting with oils is that the photo can be saved, resized, multiple prints and sizes, and even different color versions can be made. The basic idea is to make a separate color layer for each color, paint over the image using the brush tool, and then use the standard hue/saturation, color balance, and opacity tools to adjust each color individually. Colorists soon realized that the same techniques that worked with Marshall’s Oils and cotton tips could be used with Photoshop. Oil Layers to Photoshop Layersīy the time Adobe Photoshop was introduced in 1991, the need for hand-tinting and colorizing black and white photographs had been greatly reduced but was still sometimes used for vintage photographs or special effects. Adding permanent pigment oil paint on top makes them even more impervious to time and the elements. Black and white film and prints are permanent because they contain silver, not dyes. Color film and color chromogenic prints made from negatives are very susceptible to fading and changing colors, sometimes in as quickly as a few years. An added benefit was that oil paint-tinted photographs were permanent.
