Colorize

2/2/2012

 Playing with layer overlaying and threshold adjustment to create an intense black and white image then overlaying color. As usual I'm pretty happy with it (or else it wouldn't be done and posted here...), the fiery effect I made with the red, orange, and yellow combo looks really cool. The image I used had a background that was really dark so I couldn't just use threshold to get rid of it. So I had to cut the image out with the eraser and then modify the threshold and add the color on top. I found out early on that since the layer above the picture was the one I applied the threshold and color too it was someway influencing the way the color interacted with the image. Once I hid the first layer the color went in much more naturally.
