Lesson 5 Add Color to a Grayscale Image PHOTOSHOP 4-21 FIGURE 24 Gradient Map dialog box Applying a gradient effect You can also use the Gradient Map to apply a colored gradient effect to a grayscale image. The Gradient Map uses gradient fills (the same ones displayed in the Gradient picker) to colorize the image, which can produce some stunning effects. You use the Gradient Map dialog box, shown in Figure 24, to apply a gradient effect to a grayscale image. You can access the Gradient Map dialog box using the Adjustments command on the Image menu. Colorizing a Grayscale Image In order for a grayscale image to be colorized, you must change the color mode to one that accommodates color. After you change the color mode, and then adjust settings in the Hue/Saturation dialog box, Photoshop determines the colorization range based on the hue of the currently selected foreground color. If you want a different colorization range, you need to change the foreground color. QUICKTIP A duotone is a grayscale image that uses two custom ink colors. The final output is dramatically affected by both the order in which the inks are printed and the screen angles that you use. Tweaking adjustments Once you have made your color mode conversion to grayscale, you may want to make some adjustments. You can fine-tune the Brightness/Contrast, filters, and blending modes in a grayscale image.
