Using the colorization technique from worth1000.com, I turned a black & white photograph of Marilyn Monroe into color.

This is an awesome job! Where's the tutorial? I went to worth1000.com but got distracted by the Halle Berry Zombie!

Cheers Tony

Thank you very much Tony!, Marilyn was a beautiful woman which made the coloriztion fun. Regarding the tutorial:

1. On the worth1000.com home page select tutorial from the upper right tabs.
2. Scroll down and you'll find "Yet Another Colorization Tutorial" (this is a good tutorial, but not the one I used on Marilyn).
3. Scroll a little bit more an you'll see the tutorial "Primary Colorizing". It will take some practice and experimentation to get the skin colors you desire.

Good luck,

Alan

You really are a pro at this now! These are excellent.
If you're like me at all, you're coloring everything now, it's so much fun.

Vikki:

Thank you! I too have gotten enamored with the method because it produces such nice results, and it's fun to see the results. (It's hard to pass up a great photograph thats crying out to be colored.)

Thanks Alan, found them. I gave the CMYK colourisation a go on the sample image and it really does work quite well. The only thing with it though is that I found it pretty tricky to get the colours that you want while working in that colour space. I spend virtually all my time in RGB. I mean - everyone knows what red is, but what the *(&^ is K???

Tony,

I also tried the CMYK colorization and had very similar experiences (wierd eyebrows on the sample image). Don't forget to try the "primary colorization" technicque on worth1000.com.
