my first job was hand-coloring black and white photo prints. traditionally it's done with oil paint directly onto the photo (which is how i did it). results look just like that.
but since this has a "before" image i'd assume it was done in photoshop.
there are two main ways to do it:
1. make a new layer on top of your original image layer and paint your color onto it. set the blend mode to "color".
or
2. make a new layer UNDER your original image layer, and set the original image layer's blend mode to "multiply". paint onto the bottom layer.

- Thanks. I thought there would be more to it. Everyone knows about Multiply.freedom
- nope, it's dead simple. the only tricky part is selecting colors that will match the tone of the area you're coloringscarabin
- Put each colour a new layer. Then you can apply HSL or any other adjustment layer later to fine tune your colours.nb
- What medium did you use with oil paint? Linseed oil?IRNlun6
- I typically use over lay mode if I remembered correctly. I like to use solid color layer with mask with HSL clip on to it.pango

- basically you just paint the color on and then use cotton to lightly wipe most of it away. then spray stuff on to seal and protectscarabin
