Adding Colour To Greyscale Images

Hi Guys,
Im new to the forum and have a tricky question.
Ive been given a large amount of designs that have been colour separated for use by screen printers.
I will go through the image details below but history of the images is sketchy to say the elast.

The layer shows a black and white image and has been saved in grayscale mode.
There are numerous colour channels which are unselected. When you select them all the colour fills in gradually until its looks great. But this doesnt actually change anything eg Layer, so that is always black and white.
How can I get the printed output to look like the image when all colour layers are selected.
Im not screen printing, I am digitally printing so dont need sep colours.
I have attached an example design so you can understand better what I mean.
Any help will be massively appreciated guys.
If I can find an easy way to do this I will hopefully get a script designed that will convert 100s in bulk. Fingers crossed as right now Im lost.
Thanks guys
Neil

I have a load of images that I have been given by a manufacturer, some have white backgrounds and are great. Others, have a black background..and are not great. I am needing to edit these black background images to be like the white background images.

You'll notice for the product (attached images) that there is packaging immediately around the yellow string. It's this bit that I am finding incredibly hard to change from the blackish colour to the whitish colour, shown in the picture with the white background.

Does anyone have any ideas please how I can change this black area to be like the 'good' photo? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Guys,

I have attached a .psd file, what i need to do is add a 1% min dot to the PMS 382 in the background but have the CMYK images knock
out of the spot colour. Everything i do leaves the 1% in the CMYK areas as well...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Duncan

Hello.
I've recently photographed a few local bathrooms using my 18-55mm lens on a Sony A58 body. Since Apple's new OS Yosemite doesn't support Sony's RAW files I was forced to shoot in JPEG resulting in a tremendous undertaking of excruciating colour correcting in Adobe's Photoshop Elements 10. After a long period of getting the image to the colour and style I wanted, I was faced with a more challenging problem. I am now currently trying to match the colour style of my first image with another photograph of the same bathroom. Since I kept it on the same Custom White Balance it should of been easy but the second image had the door of the bathroom open while the first image had the door closed resulting in a mixture of different colour temperatures. Is there anyway of matching the style in Photoshop Elements for these two photos?


(First Image, Un-Touched, Door is Closed)

(First Image, Re-Touched, Removed Colour Cast, Sharpened, Skewed, Adjusted Hue/Saturation, Adjusted Levels, Adjusted Brightness and Contrast, Clone Stamp)

(Second Image, Un-Touched, Door is Open)

(Second Image, Re-Touched, Sharpened, Removed Colour Cast, Adjusted Levels, Adjusted Brightness and Contrast, Adjusted Hue/Saturation)

I've been foolishly playing around with blending modes on images in web pages using CSS.

I found an example in which the follow image is used for blending, using 'multiply' blend mode.



When blended they do indeed create a full colour image but how is this done without the 'key' component?
I'm assuming its been included in the other 3 images but how?

Hi All

I am reasonably new to photoshop but am wanting to get a lot better! I am quite interested in being able to change the colours/livery of objects in photos most notably trains due to this being one of my main interests.

I have an image of a train and I want to edit the livery but keep an element of realism.so It doesn't just look drawn like a cartoon. I have made an attempt at this but I am not massively happy with the results. I have uploaded both a copy of the original image and a copy of my amended image. My main problem is the lack of realism, because I am trying to go from a very light colour to quite a dark blue I seem to lose a lot of the detail from the original image.

I have also uploaded an image of the sort of thing I would like to achieve. The person who has done this makes a really good job of them and I would love to be able to achieve similar results.

The way I have created my image is simply but creating adjustment layers for hue and saturation and levels and played with the settings until I get something like.

Does anyone have any tips on how I can make a better attempt at changing to colour so it retains an element of realism?

I have a series of images taken at different dates, some many years apart, and want to get them as correctly aligned as possible. The images were taken from slightly different positions and with somewhat different focal length lenses. The result would be two images of the same scene from the different dates but corrected for various distortions. Obviously it will not be possible to correct for all distortions and positional effects but a lot could be done. I am assuming there will be a tool where you can click on a range of points in each image and tell the program its the same thing in each picture and the program will automatically transform one or both of the images so that they are more similar to each other. I have found plenty of warping and morphing tools in photoshop but not one that will do this.

Hello,

I'm new to PS and new to this forum, so be kind! I need to edit the font used in my product category images and to do it I have tried filling the text in with the matching colour, and then retype the text. However the images have been created (as you can see) with a transparent layer over the actual product and in-between the text. So my question is, how can I fill the text in without losing the "transparent" effect? below is an original image and an image where I have removed the text by filling it in


Many thanks, Ben

I am very incompetent at even basic photoshopping, so any help would be very very much appreciated!

Basically, I would like to turn photos of famous people into black and white, and then photoshop them into the below picture so it looks like I have my arm around them:



(sorry it's not great quality!)


These are the people I would like to be photoshopped in with me (whichever photo is easiest/looks best):












I've tried to do it myself, but I can't get the colour of the images similar, and I can't get the proportions right!
I know it's not going to look realistic, but it's more just for fun.

If anyone could help me create any of these pictures at all, that would be brilliant!

Hi,

I have a colour swatch and I would like to create a custom gradient from it.
Can this be done 'automatically' rather than just picking what I 'think' is a 50% bright colour and putting at the halfway stop etc.
If this isn't possible is it possible to order the swatch colours in brightness order and go from there manually?

Many Thanks
