“Hand” Tinting
I’ve gotten into manual tinting of photographs lately. Why Is this listed as “hand” tinting? Because I’m using the computer rather than an analog approach.
There is a big difference as to how I’m approaching this however, in contrast to the tutorials I’ve seen on the subject. I do NOT use bucket fills. I’m using Corel Painter in watercolor mode, thin ‘wash’ over thin ‘wash’, just as I would in analog. As a result the , well, results are looser and more complex in color.
Time consumptive but great fun none the less.

Hi! I alos love photography but I dont have the time right now due to a 2 yr old! LOL
But I wanted to comment on your photos:
the piano one…I really had to look hard to tell what it was, I think it is too bright so the white keys got washed out. But good concept.
But the other two were done superb!
Great job!

I’ve actually corrected that exposure issue in my final edition of that piece, Michelle. Good eye!
I just haven’t gotten around to posting the corrected image *DOH* You can see the final edition in my print gallery at
