Gimp Beginners Tutorial: Colorize Or Color Splash Black and White Photos.
How to create a colour splash or colorized picture from a black and white photograph.
Splash of colour refers to the effect of the use of a coloured item on an otherwise monochrome image to draw extra attention to the item. It has been used frequently in films as a form of emphasis. Some commercials will film a portion in black and white, except the product which appears in colour.
Colourisation or colourization is any process that adds color to black-and-white, sepia, or other monochrome images. It may be done as a special effect, to ”modernize” black-and-white films, or to restore color films. The first examples date from the early 20th century, but colorization has become common with the advent of digital image processing.
GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is a free and open-source raster graphics editor used for image retouching and editing, free-form drawing, converting between different image formats, and more specialized tasks.
