It kinda upset me when you said your skin tone wasn't nice. You're such a good dude. Please don't say negative things about yourself. There's nothing at all wrong with your skintone. I get that that is a sensitive issue in India and I don't know much about that. But love yourself, man.
I believe we all reacted to this. You are a handsome awesome man no matter what. When in doubt, just ask your mom ;)
Thank you for saying that!
I thought he just meant that his skin tone wasn't what, in the West, is often referred to as "skin colour" when it comes to paints/art supplies.
Indians, Arabs, South Europeans and North Africans have a much more healthy and good looking skin color than most northern Europeans. The reddish pinkish skin tones are not only sensitive towards sunlight they also are much likely to get skin cancer and other skin diseases.

I have seen several techniques to convert black and white to color, but this one using a gradient is fantastic. Thanks!
1:10 Getting sample from colored photo
1:45 Getting sample of color dark tone, mid tone, high tone with eyedropper tool. Sample size: "5 by 5 average" pixels. Sample: "All layers"
4:00 Creating "Gradient Map" over "Background" layer and assigning previously sampled colors to "Gradient Map".
6:07 Setting "Gradient Map" layer mode as "Color".
6:35 Adding mask to "Gradient Map" and selecting the mask then painting white with soft brush.
8:00 Other detaily layer and color settings.
I colorized/ restored my dad's old photo using the strategies here. Thank you.
Wow ! It's so simple when you teaching !

YOU.ARE.THE.KING !!!!! This is like day #10 I am watching your tuts up to 4-5 a.m. and I get up for regular work at 8 am.
Time flies with you dude!
Thank you for all this, you made my life less hopeless and gave motivation to get back to photography again ❤️
Thank you like zilion times !!!!
This is BY FAR the best explanation of the B&W -> Color workflow in Photoshop that I've ever seen. So thorough and approachable, and you cover the "why" behind each step which is so important. 11/10!
As a 28-year Photoshop user, I love that there are still so many new techniques I can learn. The use of the gradient for colorizing skin tones was an eye-opener. Thank you for that.
"It makes it a Goblin....you don't want that" 😂🤣 awesome tutorial with humour to boot 😁
This guy is so genuis
This is such a great, timeless tutorial from an excellent digital artist. I always found that Photo Restoration, which was my introduction to Photoshop in 2001, to be one of the best ways to learn Photoshop, because it forces you to use so many different tools.
I appreciate how your video walks through all of the technical steps, pointing out at least 10 new features I've never used before. In addition, you give great tips on the creative side of Photoshop, and obviously have an excellent eye. Considerations like the blood vessels, skin tone tips, single tones for non-skin areas, how and where to to 'get lost in the details', etc are hugely valuable, and not necissarily something that is brought up or stimulated in other video tutorials.
Cheers! I'm really looking forward to giving a try.
Your skin is actually great, it's a really nice warm color and I really like it, I'd name a pallet of it "caramel latte". Also, your tutorials are fantastic!
cmon he just meant the lighting was too bright to show the shades on skin
I actually sometimes listen to your tutorials without paying too much attention and without having to work at photoshop just because your way of talking is so relaxing
The way you teach is really interesting. And your teaching style is really comforting. Keep teaching. 👌👌
Your colorization tutorial was incredibly helpful. I've been a Photoshoper for a long time but never needed to colorize until today. It was a stop and go in the beginning but I completed what I sat out to do with your help. Thank you. By the way I've followed you for at lease 10+ years if not longer. You're a great tutor..Again thanks.
You're honestly amazing. You're helping me loads with my school work.
Learning a lot and what I love about your videos is that you don't just DO things and expect people to "copy/paste" the process...you actually explain what this option will do or that blending mode will do or what this or that tool does......Love all your videos. Thank you for posting
I've did something like this a while ago and it turned out amazing! Interesting how we can colorize a picture from the time when colored pictures were still just an imagination
Dude, you're an amazing teacher. Keep up your wonderful work!
Im so glad I took the time to do this tutorial! You have a great teaching style! Thank you!
I've been using Photoshop longer than you have been alive, and your colorizing techniques have absolutely blown my mind!
I have only few subscribed channels and i'm glad that you are one of them. I really enjoyed watching 👍
He is the best teacher
a few? u have 300k! i have 10k!

@@TioCzarnemi1234russo ayoo bro he said the channels he subscribed not his
Amazing job!! The most powerful tutorial for PS that i ever seen
this is the third tutorial that I am watching from you, and I already feel like I am learning way more than ever before
I wanted to say thank you for this video. This is the first video I've seen on your channel and I instantly subscribed the moment your intro was playing as I could already tell your production quality is not only super high but amazing as well. I hope to see more content from you in the future!
This is the kind of method you will learn in a photoshop class paying hundreds of dollars, what an amazing job of you brother! Keep it up you are awesome.
Thank you
I don't even learn that in my graphic design school
I love you!! Im starting on photoshop and now I feel pro 😂❤. Discovering your channel is the best accident ever! Much love!!
We the same freki'n feeling Haha.. I just started too. 😂😂😂
Same goes to me😂
You are an amazing instructor! A lot of these online tutorials leave out simple things or go so fast that you have no idea how they got from A to B. I had to do this for an assignment on 2 badly damaged photos in less than a week and I wouldn't have gotten through it if I hadn't had this tutorial. Subscribed. Thank you!
Amazing tutorials. I watch multiple times for the info to register as much as I can handle. He is a genius.
The best thing that your video hurt me is that it does not have any part to fast forward... Every seconds worth watching... Thank u dude... Stay bless...
Thank you for your help; this was an amazing tutorial! Easy to follow and very well explained. I just finished editing a photo of my maternal grandmother and great-grandmother, and I'm going to give it to my mom for Mother's Day! Thank you again :)
every single one of your videos is pushing me forward... THANK YOU
the great thing about this vid is that it takes the time to show you how to make skin tones realistic. So many other vids just throw in a color fill layer and botch the job. This vid shows how to take your time (but not too much time) to create something that can pass as authentic.
Thank you.. this is a wonderful tutorial! I just did a photo of my Great-Great Grandmother. I am in love with it.
Thank you so much for the grat Tutorial. I'm going to colorize old photos of my family for my parents silver wedding as a present.
There is so much nuance and so many helpful details in your tutorials. You are a wonderful teacher. Thank you kindly for the time and care you put into each offering.
Your tutorials are so informative and I always learn so much from them. Thank you!
An additional tip: since different colors in real life are affected by ambient lighting, you can bring them all together with a final Photo Filter adjustment layer at the top using either a warm or cool filter to simulate the scene's original color temperature.
He did it already as well. Check the final at 17:12 and note at the top left text.
Love your explanations and ease of explanation into the realms of PS. Great channel love this tutorial thank you.
This tutorial really helped me, thank you very much! It is amazing to see someone really taking their time to go through the process. Really appreciate it and all the best, you are a great teacher!
Your tutorials are the best I've been watching you for years now and your instruction is always clear and simple to follow. Keep up the great work!
why do I love your voice so much man
This is exactly the gradient-based method I've been experimenting with for colorizing skin, because skin has so much variation between the light and shadows. I find using gradient mapping like this is also useful for compositing, etc.
Omg thank you so much! You saved me years of time colouring in one pixel at a time with the eye dropper and the brush!!! I felt like pulling my hair out because it looks so fake but using a masks hat follows a swatch gradient?! I didn’t even know photoshop could do that! Amazing! Thank you thank you!!! 👌👍😊
You're so good at explaining! It's so simple to color a photo by following your steps. I feel so lucky for finding your channel! Terrific.
Very good video! It will help me on my project with old family photos!
I wish u were my teacher at school when i learn and make photos that i show my teacher even he is impressed of how good of technics u show me
There are lakhs of channel teaching photoshop techniques... I have seen allst 100s of them... Nobody can think so precisely like you do... So simple things yet so effective... Thank you for being on TH-cam...
Excellent tutorial! I don't hand out that kind of praise very often because many tutorials whiz through the processes and skip mentioning key steps that are integral to being able to execute the lesson so THANK YOU!
WAIT A SECOND!!!!
did you edit the colors in the video? ; )
I love your videos, I'm from Brazil, please teach how to make a good color separation to silkscreen process!!!!
I Wish all Tutorials were presented so well and clearly understandable !!
Good on Yuh Mate from Aussie !!
Amazing tutorial! It was really informative and this will massively help with my future colourisation edits. Thank you!
Love your video very much,,,Love from Bangladesh. your video is so cool. I just your big fun brother.
Your very helpful and a good teacher. I realize that your doing it slowly so that we can understand it very quickly. I enjoying your videos so far. Thank you very much. 🌻🤓
Pi, you've been my favorite editor, thanks for your help.
I really like this way of colorization using the gradient masks. I've seen and used the method of making a selection and using curves masks, and it works well but the gradient masks just looks much more convincing.
No computer no Photoshop knowledge no orders to do that no time to do that still watching
😌
Old guy ... reference image: Santa Claus 😂😂😂
Been ur student for all these 2 weeks. Skills are improved a lot thank god. And thanks to YOU!
this is amazingly fast technique. Good stuff man!
I liked this video after watching the first 10 seconds of it
OMG. I JUST FIND OUT SOMETHING I WANTED TO KNOW FO 10 YEARS NOW. HOW TO DELETE AN ENTIRE PIC BUT LET A CIRCLE INSIDE VISIBLE. CTRL J. DUDE, YOU HAVE A CRATE OF BEERS FROM ME!
Been using Photoshop for many years and never knew what the HSB stood for or did. Thank bro!
Fantastic tutorial... love how the palette is build and used in it's own layers to paint. Awesome thank you!
12:10 "Just here and there..."
Reminds me of Bob Ross
11:39 text below is "ctrl+ J" which is wrong =)
"ctrl + i" is the one you need to invert the mask
He is making a copy of his selected area and applies it on another layer.
Ctrl + i just invert the marking like you said.
He just had another technique. The description isn't wrong, just his technique.
@@ErikSkogOfficial no @yoshiahro is right he says control I to invert but in the screen he put control j, which was a mistake
I think this colorization method is extraordinarily clever. It’s subjective and takes practice, but the results can be remarkable. Of all the tutorials I’ve seen on all subjects in Photoshop, I would rank this one in the top group.
This is the best video on TH-cam who teaches you how to do the Re-Color. Perfect Job!
Great video as usual. Aaron Nace must be watching you with interest ;) Would be cool to have you both work on a single piece of work and see what you both come up with.
@slackbladder69 Absolutely agree with you🙂
When it's 11:39 just ignore the dialog box with Ctrl + J, it's Ctrl + I
Amazing video man. Well explained, simple to understand and I also love that you summarised the process in the end
Thanks A Lot I Turned My Moms Old Black And White Photo To Colour Image With This Tutorial❤️
A bit fast-paced for me, but hey, I can pause and replay whenever I want. But excellent, clear narration, good techniques.
Your skin tone is perfect bro, some people will kill for having a tan like that lol
when you learn more in a 19 min video then in 4 years of school. Just WoW . Nice video keep it up loved the quick and easy tutorial :)
Thank you. I did some family photos using this tutorial. Amazing results.
That image was hi-res and colored to start with, restoring an old photo with few pixels of information is a completely different thing.
Disagree. No matter Hi-res or old pic, both you have highlights and shadows to work with
PS MASTER
This is really helpful thanks so much, I paint and often use vintage photographs as reference for paintings, being able to colourize them first will be so much help in visualising and planning an appropriate colour palette.
I've watched a few of your videos today, and they are all excellent, both in terms of knowledge, but the way you explain things. Well done.
Him: "Here we have red, here we have yellow, here we have magenta..."
Me: "I see peach, peach, and more peach. 🤷"
Trained vs untrained eyes
@@fb3798 The trained eye speaking to the untrained eye using trained eye vision isn't exactly effective. Just saying. I appreciate color specificity. As someone with a long history as a graphic artist, I get that there are more colors than found in a basic crayola box. But there comes a point where too much specificity becomes lost. Having asked many customers which pantone shade they're looking for when they say they want yellow and receiving blank stares and irritated repetitions of meaningless verbal color descriptions... all I'm saying is -- I see peach.
@@Salsuero
Some tutorials are a bit too advanced for the untrained eye who should stick to more basic stuff. Training your eye takes time and lots of practice
@@fb3798 LOL -- this is TH-cam... and not an advanced tutorial. And even a trained eye doesn't necessarily see yellow where he does. Also, you can knock off the superiority complex and condescension. Clearly you belong in the r/whoosh section of the room.
@@Salsuero
It's also TH-cam where you never know someone's ego will get hurt by a comment about a technical topic. Sorry, never intended to hurt your feelings so no need to mock each other about this
Your talking very fast. So when the video came up. I click on the little red box at the right. settings came up along with the word speed. clock on that and change to 75%. Now I can keep up with you. And Now I can click on full screen. All your videos are great.
it's ok, it's your english for sure mate, soon you will manage to understand many more people
You can also click on CC (Caption Closed) for subtitles.
Le Stefano been, But good try
Your voice is really relaxing for some reason, so chill and informative at the same time
This tutorial and your perfect explenation are just pure, pure, pure gold. Thank you so much!
You literally had almost every video I searched for related to editing ❤️❤️
Unmesh.... you are AWESOME!!! I really love your tutorials, thanks for all the effort!
By far, the best photoshop channel on YT. Thanks
Thank you, you just made my life so much easier for colorizing photos!!!
Your channel is top class, I have yet to see a less than fantastic video from you! Keep up the great work.
You're giving us great tutorials. Always simple to learn
it took a while for me to understand and learn for real how to use those tips in here... thank you so much my photoshop friend!
I've been one of ur silent viewers for so long. But after seeing this i just can't keep quiet. You're awesome. More like ur the God of Photoshop👍
Bro! I learn so much from you. Thanks for doing these tutorials.
I've been using photoshop for 15 years and I still learn stuff from your videos.
Awesome video! I've always wanted to learn how to colorize, and you make it simple to start at.
Amazing tutorial, you have helped me so much!
woah! This is the most effective and easiest tutorial that I watched about colorizing black and white photo, thank you so much :)
This was great! I have Photoshop 7 (yes, I know....but that's all I have at the moment) and I still followed everything. Most commands are still in this old version, just maybe located in a different spot. But I opened up an image and worked alongside your tutorial, pausing when necessary and I am so please with what I accomplished. Thank you from a new subscriber.
this is the best tutorial i've seen! such skills man! thank you for sharing your tips and knowledge, you're so talented!
You are a really great teacher, thanks for these good times.
