Graphics Challenge 61. This week's challenge theme is Black and White To Color. We have provided two images
for you to bring to color. Try one or both of them, it's up to you, but why not try at least one?
To make this first black & white to color image I opened it in Painter and added color to the clothes
using the Acrylics Brush: Captured Bristle variant. I opened the image in Elements and used the Brush
Tool and Smudge Tool to paint the skin tone onto the girl on the right. Decided using the Brush Tool
and Smudge Tool to paint the skin tone was too much trouble, so I used the Paint Bucket for the skin
tones of the other girls. I enhanced the color on the girls and ran various Brush Stroke Filters. I
removed the background and replaced it with a gradient, used the Oval Marquee tool inverted it and
made a vignette of the image.
