Coloring Tutorial For Dark, Dull Images
this to this


Made in: GIMP
Steps: 7 (2 optional)
Translatable: Yes
Difficulty: Easy
Works on: Dark, dull images.
Found: Here @ my journal

This is my first tutorial, so comments (positive and negative) are more than welcome. This tutorial involves using layer modes and opacity, and an optional last step that uses curves. I've tried to explain why I used the steps that I did, but if I wasn't clear enough please let me know and I'll try to explain it more in-depth.

This tutorial works best for inanimate objects, although it can be used to brighten images of people if you skip steps 3&5 (using steps 3&5 turns people a weird orange/red color). Using images brighter than the one I used tends to make the image too bright, but some turn out well if you use one or two multiply layers on top.
