How did you get it to be so nicely colored??? | ||

Basically trace round the area you want colouring, make a seperate layer, then fill with the colour of your choice, setting a layer mask of soft light with a transparency of around 80% The skin tones and suit colours I got from some colour photos of the same event. The rest I got from memory such as the church colours (the same church my children were baptised in). |

Thank you
I've since lost this photo (though still have original). I might do it again one day or even fix up another old photo. Takes quite a bit of work though, you've really got to be in the mood for it. |
