Digital Imaging 1: How to Colorize an Image

1. Get a High Quality Image (1000 psi or more) and save you your computer.
2. Open it in Photoshop.
3. Go to File > New. Name it Colorize.  Size 8x10 or 10x8. Resolution 300. 16 Bit. Hit OKay.
4. Drag your Image into the new document, Resize to full page holding shift.
5. Go to Image> Adjustments> Black and White. Hit Okay
6. Go to Image >Adjustments> Brightness and Contrast. Adjust contrast until blacks in your image are crisp/details pop. Hit Okay.
7. Go over to the layers window and lock the layer with your now black and white image by hitting the lock button on the screen.
8. Go down to the "Post it" Button on the layers window. Hit it to create a blank layer.
9. Change the blend mode (where it says "normal" on the layer window) to either "Color" or "Overlay."
10. Begin coloring using the Paint Brush tool and Eraser to fix mistakes. You may adjust the brush size and Hardness as needed. Remember Ctl + and Ctl - zoom in and out.
11. When finished Save as JPEG to H-Drive and Post to Blog.  You DO NOT have to write a reflection for this one.

**You should be painting using good craftsmanship! No holes or odd cut offs.
