I’ve always wanted some in depth tutorial about photo restoration. This is
very useful and fun to do. Could you guys make a tutorial about colorize
black and white old photos? Thanks for the awesome job. Aaron is the best.

Tony Owen says:

Truly awesome. Before watching Phlearn religiously Photoshop always seemed
like black magic. You explain each step brilliantly and it all makes
perfect sense, great job :)

ValorZeroAdvent says:

How about the part on the bottom left? Was it too difficult or did you just
miss out on that scratched up part of the photograph? 

Kai Chinn says:

Great video! definitely enlightened me to some of the tools in photoshop.

Aaron, Just want to thank you for this. I truly believe Phlearn will
receive Karma 10 fold for this one. this will truly bring joy to sooo many
people. There are plenty of us who have older family with photos in the
same condition that would love to see there old tattered images restored to
their full glory. This will bring tears to some & warm heart felt smiles
to others. Thanks Aaron.

MrMoonpie001 says:

WOW!!!!! This maybe the best episode I have seen to date! Aaron, the
thing I love about the videos you and your team make are the explanation
behind tools! This is such a great help, especially to us who are new.
When I began this quest to learn Photoshop and photography my first and
daunting question was, “What makes a good photograph?” I can now see how
all of this is beginning to come together. Thank you for your videos and
increasing my depth of understanding.

I appreciate all you do!

Paulo Muiños says:

This is by far one of the best tutorials i’ve ever watched. It would have
taken any other guy at least an hour to do this job on screen. Thanks a
lot, Aaron

Jalen Clemmons says:

Love It! I was wondering, can you teach us how to make a black and white
person into color with eyes lips and etc.

Mike Aspan says:

One of the more informative tutorials from the best photoshop site on
Youtube and the WEB

Brandon Lewis says:

Awesome…I got a B, but i could have had a better grade if i gave more
effort…you the man bro…..awesome repair tutorial 

HarjeetKaur17 says:

Sir, you are the best teacher I’ve ever seen. Finding a way through this
software isn’t as hard because you take so much time and effort to explain
what you are doing and why you’re doing it.. Thank you so much for phlearn!

Oozywolf says:

It’s great that you guys didn’t just put in filler music during the speed
up. I loved how you continued to explain and talk about the process!

Priscilla Knight says:

Wow, this is amazing. Great job Aaron! I LOVE IT!!

Nenad Blazin says:

I used to be so scared of photoshop until you guys came along. Thank you so
much for making it simple. In the ocean on photoshop you’re a safe island
for islanders like me! Aaron you’re the best! Best regards from Serbia.

Soheb Shaikh says:

how do we add color in black & white images

EdEditz says:

Very cool episode! I use these techniques myself sometimes but adding the
texture back in was a very useful tip.

Kariem Bahabri says:

what is that Device you are using ?

Adarsh Suraj says:

Are you using Wacom Intuos5 ?

Nels Chick says:

Most Impressive!

David Joseph says:

Fantastic tutorial !!!

Lawrence Cheung says:

WOW…MAGIC!! May I suggest a topic that you may consider. There are
times I take fireworks photos at night, but some of the firework though
bright up the night sky nicely, but the color of the flares and trails are
not that colorful, how to turn not-so-colorful fireworks into colorful?
Just a thought.

cambike says:

Again, excellent easy to follow tutorial.

Would love to spend a day learning with you.

Thanks again for the best channel on Youtube

Sanamm McArdent says:

awesome tutorial! and I know this is a little random but do you think you
could do a studio / set tour? 

crocid daniel says:

job well done

ezmetics says:

This tutorial is probably my favourite on this youtube channel… The
results are astonishing.

Eflat Productions says:

Thank you

Phinster 1 says:

This is by far the best retouching and repair tut I have seen on youtube.
Excellent Skills and Technical ability.

Paul Manoogian says:

One other method for clearing the color cast would be to create a Stamp
Visible Layer, add a Blur–>Average, Invert that blurred image, and then
change the blending mode to COLOR. Then you can just back off the opacity
to get it closer to normal color. After which, you can bring up a Curves
Adjustment Layer and pull each of the RGB color sliders in from both the
black and white sides (you could also do that with a levels adjustment).
That will bring back richer-looking colors by giving it a bit more
contrast. You could then do what Aaron said and tweak the selective colors
to even out the photograph. 

Miller Robayo says:

Mr. Aaron this is my first time making some comments in Facebook and
subscribe in those tutorial as well, however I can say that watching your
extraordinary tutorials I’m really astonished and happy following your
episodes each week. Your tutorials are fresh, funny and easy to follow and
I am learning a lot.
I have I suggestion for some tutorials. Some times I have seen photos that
they have lights behind people and of course the face of them is dark. How
to solve this problem?.
Another one is to move people from photos taken in the interior environment
to the exterior when the light source is totally different, on those
scenarios.
Thank you very much.

Erald Ylli says:

saraswati Chandra says:

Abby Vincent says:

hey phlearn, do you have a book or place where people can look at your
photos? Because I always see them in the beginning but can never pause
quick enough 🙁 if its on Phlearn.com, what section would it be under?
Thanks!

Daniela Abreu says:

Hi Aaron and all team!
I really love you’re channel and I’m always learning with your tutorials.
I’m trying to make a logo but I still have one doubt: is it possible to
make a vector or work with vectors on photoshop?
Thank you so much.
All the best for you guys!!


Tricia Maestre says:

Hi Arron love the tutorial ! Some of my work has come from restorations
and I wanted to show you some of mine so I put a link to one of the recent
ones I did. I used a couple of your methods but am stocked to find out
about getting rid of color casts. I know your busy but if you have a
chance Id be honored if you looked
