Hi , I have never actually tried to colorize something. Thought I knew how to do it just from
reading -- never works. You actually have to do it.
I think I did ok -but I have some questions.
How do you colorize something with many colors -- like the body of the toy?
Dress and toy are ok - not the best -- colors but how do you colorize the face?
I selected the face, put it on a layer and changed the blend mode to overlay.
Then erased the edges.
Is there a better way? Was going to use Wendy's tutorial on PET.
Didn't realize it was for Black & White.

I have a bunch of this type of pictures to do - colorize the colorized (60s).
Thanks if you can help.
