not a very detailed tutorial. for example, how the heck do i “Apply the selection as a mask” ?? I gave up on the 3rd step when i realised i shouldn’t have skipped this mask thing…

Tutorial is awesome cause it represent vey usefull non-destrutive techniques and have pretty nice final outcome. Also he is so greatlyl described. Every tut have some dificalty level and colorizing b&w images is not easy at all so beginers shouldnt try it before learn about masks, chanels, adj. layers etc.

Book By Nigel French “Adobe Photoshop Unmasked: The Art and Science of Selections, Layers, and Paths ”

Skin tone is terrible. Lack of precision and bad choice of skin tone are the biggest mistakes when it comes to colorizations. You were pretty precise but the red hair around the hair line is lacking in terms of precisioni. The scleras are unnaturally white. Her undereye area is too gray, should be more of a blue-gray, yours looks partly desaturated.

Good job with the hair selection though it was unnecessary for this tutorial.

The concept is great , but your explanation really suck at this point, especially for beginners. You need to explain better so everyone can follow your thoughts.
Instead of giving shortcuts just say what you need to press or where to go, all your shortcuts dont work for me.
Hope this will help you to improve your tuts in feature.

Thx

Better than 50’s colorization…

Not quite 2009.

In the first picture, a window is casting a shadow on the subjects face and shoulder. Why then, is the shadow still there when the sky becomes the background.

Where is she exactly? It just screams Photoshop.

Not that the tutorial was executed better. The artist completely obliterated her lips, and lost the small wrinkles that made her face interesting. For some reason he chose to keep the ones near her eyes that just made her look old.

Think like a photographer when you use Photoshop. What is the point of this picture? What does it say? What does it show?

When we change it, does it still make sense?
