i need to know how to colorize and fade. (in this pic the skin seems to be glowing. thats what i want to do)

I can't view your pictures, try hosting them here (http://www.imageshack.us/).

Okay, I have psp9 but it shouldn't be much different

COLORIZING - You would go under the "adjust" drop down menu, then to "hue and saturation", and then click colorize. All you need to do then is play around with it.

The glowing look you described is most likely just the contrast. Go to adjust, then to brightness and contrast, and then click brightness and contrast on the menu. Just play around with it.

To fade a picture, go to the "layers" drop down menu, and click "properties". One of the options is the opacity. The less opacity, the more faded it is. In the example you gave though, it looks to me like they used brushes to do that.

Hope this helped. x-)

oops.

i hope it works this time

This won't colorize it like on this (http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/640/luke27mv.th.jpg) picture.

I'm sure they duplicated the image and set it to Screen (this made it 'glow'). Then probably made a new layer and filled it with a brownish color and set it to Soft Light or something... They also used a texture and set it to Lighten, Overlay or Hard Light. :)

It's on your layer palette (http://img451.imageshack.us/img451/5491/image36aw.jpg).

thanks a lot. i´m playing around with it a little. then i´m gonna let you know how it went.

hi,

it worked fine so far. but now i want to colorize it in a brownish color.

i tried with (psp7) Colors > colorize > hue +sat

but i can´t find the right settings to make it look the way i want to.
