Old Photo Editing Coloring & Retouching


Black and white photos are cool and arty and historical. Color can look pretty groovy. Adding color to a black and white photo takes some practice, but the results can be surprising. Not like 90s classic movie colorization.




Use the Touch Up tools to add color to people in B&W photos. Use Spray Tan on skin, and brighten eyes and lips with our eye and lip tools. Use Highlight on the hair, and there you go. As you’re working, remember to adjust your sliders, like Hardness, Strength, Intensity, etc. They’re essential for creating natural looks. So unless you’re colorizing pics of clowns, keep those in mind.



That all seems pretty straight-forward, though, touching up faces with color. Well, how about by using Lip Tint to pink up that jacket, make the grass green and the sky blue.

Tips: When using any type of brush tool to add effects, work in small areas, making short strokes frequently. If you make a mistake and need to undo, you won’t be undoing all of the brushing you’ve done.
