Hello. I just joined this site and already feel welcome. I'm presenting within this thread my most recent project that I conjured up out of boredom. It's a picture of Marilyn Monroe black and white, which I colorized with the use of Photoshop CS5. If anyone needs any tips, tricks, or tutorials on my Marilyn Monroe project (or any black and white photos) please message me. If you need anything done but don't know how to do it, or feel like doing it, please message me and I'll see if I can help. Anyways.... Check out the pics and please tell me how I did, whether it's good or bad. I do realize that I didn't color the beach or the sand, but it's mainly to emphasize her. :lol:

Ahh. After some school work, I'm finally finished. Here's the finished product:

Nicely done/great results. I've seen tinting by professionals go a lot worse. This is postcard ready. Look forward to seeing more. Cheers.
