Free online class (Turn a b/w photo to color)

ChainbreakR · 10-30-2015, 03:27 PM - **1 Like**

Hey guys! I'm teaching another class on Skillshare.com, and since I love PF and this community, I wanted to give it away to you guys to repay everything I've gotten from this forum over the years! It's normally only available for premium members ($10/month), but the link will allow you to take my class for free.

Most all of the information covered will likely be below some of you, but I wanted to use colorizing as a fun and unique way to teach some photo editing tool fundamentals - layers and selections.

Programs I cover:

- Photoshop
- Affinity Photo
- Pixelmator

Photoshop Editing Skills/Tools Covered:

- In-depth explanation of layers
- Layer masks
- Overview of selection tools and refinements
- Modifying fill layers with selection tools and brushes
- Image licenses explained (public domain vs. Creative Commons)
- How to colorize a black and white photo (of course

)

Link for free class --- > http://skl.sh/1KLo90S

Enjoy!

Do i need to sign up? It's asking for a membership.. there is a $0 membership option. Is that what I do? Thanks for offering this, much appreciated.

Enjoying the class, thanks! I think it will also work with aerial photos (old WB scanned from film).

Wissink - You may need to create a free membership account which will give you access to free classes, plus this free premium class.

Sholtzma - The link expires the 22nd of November, so you have some time to get in there. Once you're in, you can access it for life.
Medomare - looking forward to what you create!

Thanks for the link!
I was about to comment there's a tutorial for Paint.NET on their forum and then I reached the third video

Giklab, my pleasure! And haha, please be the first of the group to make this happen in paint.net! I'd love your feedback to see how easy/difficult this is in there. I don't have access to a PC anymore, but I've always had a soft spot for it. Though not as robust, It's so much easier to use than Gimp!

It's in progress, not going as well as I'd hoped due to my less-than-stellar skills at PDN (I only use it for exposure tweaks usually). I've found PDN to be much more useful on small screens as well, and it also has a really nice raw plugin (although, again, not as capable as UFRaw for GIMP but hey...)
