Took an image of a Spitfire I took at Duxford Meet the Fighters


Grey scaled it, created a layer and edited to show some colour


I love this technique - it creates some striking images imo...this is my first attempt. Now I know how to do it, others will follow

That's pretty impressive.  I have always liked the splotches of color in a black and white photo.  If you make the black and white portions a wee bit more grainy and darker that photo could almost pass of as a period piece.   O0

What about this?



I'm no artist...not at all. I really like the B&W photos with a colour aspect and plan to do some of my kids...so I was using this to try it out. The tools in Gimp are bewildering to me and it's trial and error.

Bravo!

What tools did you use to isolate the colored (coloured?) parts of the insignia for importing into or creating a new layer?

You did that today?  Oh yeah?

Well, I returned my empties AND I went to the park and yelled at squirrels, so there.

That's not a bad day either.

I can't get good results with the wand.

Thanks all.

Basically, used this method

https://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Selective_Color/

It involved a greyscale layer and then careful brushing

Clearly you aren't using it properly.
