Introduction to Photo Colorization.

Photo colorization is the process of bringing black and white images into the world of color. While photography began in the 1800s as a way to capture moments with remarkable clarity, it lacked the element of color, producing primarily monochromatic or "grayscale" images. Early methods of adding color included toning (such as sepia) or hand-tinting using tinted oils, a specialty service that is still practiced by some today. Notable historical milestones include the mid-1800s creation of the first color photograph and the early 1900s work of Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky, who used red, green, and blue filters to create color composites.

The Digital Tool: GIMP.

This training focuses on GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program), a powerful, free, and open-source alternative to Adobe Photoshop. Because it falls under the GNU General Public License, GIMP is free to download, use, share, and even modify for those with coding skills. Despite being free, it is capable of advanced editing and is the primary software used to teach various digital colorizing techniques in this course.
