Simple Recoloring

In this tutorial I'm going to recolor this white rose into a red one.

Start by opening the image you want to recolor. You can use mine if you want.



Then choose the color you would want on your image. I took a dark red color.



After that you choose a hard 70px or so brush.



Make a new layer and choose linear burn as the blending mode. Leave opacity at 100%.



Start brushing but leave the small details for now...



Now choose a small 10px or so hard brush and start brushing details.



Now my image looks like this :)

Still not perfect though. Let's use a little blur by going to Filters > Blur > Blur more around 3 times to fix the hard edges.



After that add some noise. Go to Filter > Noise > Add noise and do 2,50% Gaussian with Monochromatic noise checked.



Now we're done! Here is my result:



Hope you enjoyed my tutorial. If you would like more, why not request some at our forum?
