Colorize - GIMP Beginners' Guide E131 Video Lecture | A GIMP 2.8 Tutorial for Beginners - Design Softwares

hi in this episode I want to talk about
the next color to color eyes and here we
don't have much to discuss so I'm going
to show you some tricks that you can use
to apply this tool to your photographs
now before that let's discuss the
options here the first one Hugh if you
go all the way to the left we get the
red color all the way to the right also
the same red color and from here if we
go to the left you see that we have pink
purple blue light blue then green after
that yellow kind of an orange color and
then gain the red the next slider here
controls the saturation you can increase
that or decrease it you can even
desaturate entirely the image but we
have a separate color to here for that
so don't use this option here to
desaturate you images this too is much
better to do that let's just set this
now the next option here controls the
lightness we can make the image darker
or brighter
now the first thing i want to show here
is let's say I want to achieve kind of a
old photo effect something like that I
can click here on create a duplicate of
the layer and this will apply the effect
and create a new layer so keep my
background here with the original image
now have this effect applied to a new
layer and here i can adjust the opacity
and therefore the amount of the effect
you can also let's say duplicate this
layer and put it on another mode let's
say overlay and achieve another effect
and gain I can control the amount of
this effect with the opacity let's lead
these layers
and now i want to show you how we can
colorize only certain parts of the image
and leave other parts with the original
colors of the original image using layer
mask so i'm going to duplicate this
layer add a layer mask here flight full
opacity click Add now right now the
layer mask here is selected so if i go
to colorize nothing will happen i need
to select the layer here and then click
color eyes and here i'll select let's
say this kind of Cour
I can click ok and then here i'll select
the layer mask grab the brush tool make
the brush bigger and i can start
painting over to kind of uncover the
original image
and if in some area you go outside like
this you can switch this foreground the
background color and paying back the
purple so I'm going to pulse here to do
this ok so i finish this just by
increasing and decreasing the size of
the brush and also if i went too far
somewhere i switch between foreground a
background color to paint back the
purple and you see we have some really
interesting effect here we can go even
further i can duplicate this layer one
more time and here i can go to colorize
again you see i can now colorize this i
can click ok here i can again even add a
layer mask here I can select it grab the
brush tool and again and cover the
original image
so you see this time it's a lot easier I
just paint over the cone I'm not
affecting the purple color
but I am affecting the boat so i can
swap back these colors here and pain
back so that's it i hope these were
useful tips how you can use this color
eyes too that's it for this tutorial
