Epson Computer Tip: PhotoShop Elements Quick Scrapbook Technique - Colorizing Photos

Here’s a neat technique! Call this the Andy Warhol effect, or colorizing photos. It’s really easy to do with PSE 3.0.
1.

Choose Edit and Enhance Photos from the opening screen

2.

Choose the photo you want to edit by clicking on File | Open and find the photo in your system.

3.

If it’s in color, turn your photo into B/W. Click on Enhance | Adjust Color | Remove Color.

4.

To colorize, click on Enhance | Adjust Color | Adjust Hue/Saturation. This brings up the Hue/Saturation menu.

5.

Click on the Colorize box.

6.

Now adjust the Hue slider until you get the colors you like. Either type in numbers, or play with the hue slider bar.

7.

For Red try a Hue of “0”

8.

The Saturation of “50” is about mid range. This affects the color’s intensity.

9.

For Green, try a Hue of “ 131”

10. 

For Blue , try “223”

11.

Save a photo in each color you want, then print. How easy is this?
