This is a photo of my ex in laws they are both what we call Anglo/Burmese

and I attempted to colour them in, the skin tone was difficult but I was quite pleased with it

You did a very good job with that, bonnylass

Thanks for looking Suzi

Just thought I should have put this in the before and after, could a mod move this for me please
sorry for being a pain

Excellent work.

Not sure how you did it ... I have had best results with making a custom gradient. Pick tones that will (hopefully) produce the skin you want. Then use a mask to paint.

Whatever you did -- it worked well.

Very nice job on the colorization



What I did is give the I thought a bit flat image some contrast by tossing in a levels adjustment
and setting the black point and white point. I find it give it a bit more punch.

Hope you don't mind
Probably could do with a curves adjustment too to give the colors an even better punch.

Thankyou for all your comments and yes Nolanc I can see the difference
Thanks again

I think you did a great job. How'd you do it?

Pam,
Good job of colorizing the photo. You gave it a hand-painted look.
Chas

that looks fantastic.
