This photo was taken at a time when color photos where not so widespread, while black and white photography was available to everyone.

However, black and white photos can not convey the atmosphere of that time: the color of the wallpaper where you drew your first picture, the colors of your favourite blanket, the teddy bear that you loved so much.

Now you can take your black and white photo and use your memory to add colors to your recollections.

  • Step 1. Open the photo in your photo editing software.
  • a black and white photo of a child
  • Step 2. Call the AKVIS Coloriage plug-in. For this purpose in Adobe Photoshop select the menu item Filter – AKVIS – Coloriage; in Jasc Paint Shop Pro select the menu item Effects – Plugins - AKVIS – Coloriage; in Corel PHOTO-PAINT - select the menu item Effects – AKVIS – Coloriage.
  • Step 3. Draw an outline within every object with the color you have chosen for it.
