New goat (in color)

Photo Details
Phillip Whitt Junior Member Registered: February 2003 Location: Columbus,GA Posts: 2 users gallery	First, I split the image into its component RGB channels, and kept the blue one. After doing some tonal corrections and repair with the clone tool, I then colorized each element in the picture. On the brick wall, I used the layer's blend slider to allow the dark bricks to show through without (much) color. After reading the instructions on the original image, I desaturated the girl's dress in hopes of making the coloring more authentic to the actual scene. (this is a revised version)

Still just great! Very convincing color photo - can almost smell the goat.

Great work Phillip,

It's good to see another in color.
I like the orange and yellow on the cart.
It was hard do a good job on that blown out building behind the kids.
The colors you've chosen work so well with this photo.

Wow! This is a great example of making the best of what you have. Hard to believe the before/after. I may give this one a shot and see what working with just one channel will do. Super job!

Colourising is tough, you've done a great job. IMHO.

So very well done. Thank you for giving your steps for this. Colourising is difficult I agree.
