Not a lot was done on this image but there was a lot of reflective glare from the water spectral highlights. It is very hard to photograph these fast moving animals, but if you are persistent, a good image can be achieved. A great place to relax and just watch them while at this Zoo. The Giant Otter exhibit at the Jacksonville Zoo is one area where the all the otters seems so happy and were totally enjoying themselves. I love it when I go to a zoo and the animals seem happy. This was the perfect image for this type of coloring….Digital Lady Syd The blue color came from Topaz ReStyle and Nik Viveza was used to even out the whole effect.

Back in PS, the skin color was painted in as for some reason it did not pick up color. From within Topaz Studio, Topaz Adjust AI was opened and set to Standard and Strength 0.71 – then mainly all the sliders were adjusted to get a really nice look. When opened in Topaz (see sidebar for website link) Studio 2, only AI ReMix was applied using Daylight Fade preset, High, Brightness 0.60, Contrast 1.00, Sat 0.75, Hue 0.15. The first step is very important as noted in the blog – make sure you have adjusted the resolution and size of the image before beginning to change the image.

Used my blog called How to Convert Black and White Images to Colorful Painting with Topaz Studio 2. I decided to use one of my colorizing techniques since the image was so clear and interesting.
This image is a fabulous one from, one of the best places to see great historical images. Check out Shorpy’s for lots of fun pix to colorize….Digital Lady Syd Finished off with Topaz (see sidebar for website link) ReStyle (using the Zambezi Zest preset) to get the right color grading effect to the image. Back in Photoshop a little clean up was done and a sky with the PS’s new Sky Replacement function was added – the clouds were taken from my backyard around noon. In Topaz Studio 2 my “Look” for colorizing was used (for more information see on see How to Convert Black and White Images to Colorful Paintings with Topaz Studio 2 blog – links to other blogs on this site) and made a few changes to fit this image – this is where the real fun begins. The wires were removed – I wanted to leave them in, but the original image did not show the wires strong enough to see them in the colorized image. Had to straighten the image using the Camera Raw Filter’s Geometry panel. Also loved the silhouette sitting outside the store. Loved the sign that shows all the items offered, definitely a precursor to Walmart.
Just enjoyed taking this image from (click to see original B&W image) and converting it into a colorized image. (See my Fun Photoshop Blog A Few Photoshop and Lightroom Tips and Tricks – Step 2 for info on this – really easy to do and look great on images!) That was it – it was really fun and relaxing to do!….Digital Lady Syd
Last step involved adding darken and lighten layers using Sam Peterson’s colors and brush to draw attention to the boys face. A Color Lookup Adjustment Layer using On1’s Loyalty Reward for May 2022’s Fun in the Sun6 LUT was added and set to 27% – really brightened up the image. The Sharpen Tool was used on a separate layer to sharpen up the eyes a little. Black & White, Curves, and Levels Adjustment Layers were added on top. One brush used was Kyle’s Real Watercolor-80 Round brush set to Normal brush mode to paint the face and body of the child. Then on various layers in PS, different parts were painted using PS brushes to add more defined strokes and to clean up some of the Studio stroke overlap. It really is a faux digital painted image as the background painted effect used Topaz Studio ( AI Remix – 0.69 opacity and Normal mode, Velvet Abstract preset set to Style Strength High, Brightness 0, Contrast 1.00, Sat 0.75, Hue 0, Smooth Edge 0.20, Sharpness 0.47, and Suppress Artifacts 0 Impression – 1.00 opacity and Normal mode, Type 16 Stroke, Number of Strokes Med, Stroke Length 0.56, and Painting Progress 0.16 – painted out the turtle and child and Texture – and Background Type Original and Precision Detail – 1.00 opacity and Normal mode, Overall Small 0.60, and Lighting Midtones -0.47). The photo background was very busy so I decided to try some digital effects to the image. This image was taken on the Big Island in Hawaii at a small shopping center near Waimea – I wish I knew who did the original piece of sculpture as it is quite striking and beautiful.
