Making a photo look hand-colored
Edit a photo image to make the photo look like it is hand-colored. In the past, when photographs were still rare, some people would color black-and-white photos by hand and send them to their friends in the form of postcards. Give your photo a change to add a somewhat nostalgic look.

In this example, a monochrome image is used.
If you use a color image, select the [Image] menu - [Mode] - [Grayscale] to convert it into a monochrome image. And then, select the [Image] menu - [Mode] - [RGB color] so that you can manually add colors to it.

1. Change the color tone of the original image to a sepia tone.
Convert the original image into a “grayscale” one and then convert it back into an “RGB color.” Next, select [Color tone correction] - [Hue & saturation] and check [Unify color tone] to change the color tone of the image to your preferred sepia tone.
2. Color the image with the brush tools.
Create a new layer and set the [Drawing mode] to “multiply” on a temporary basis to make it easier to add colors. Next, add any color you like to the image with no space left uncolored.
3. Configure the layer filled with colors.
Apply the [Gaussian blur] filter to the new layer to smooth the boundaries between different colors. Next, set the [Drawing mode] and the [Opacity] of the layer.
4. Process the edge of the image to make it look jagged.
Create a new layer at the top and set the [Drawing color] to "white." Drag using [Brush tools] to edit the edge of the image to make it look jagged. Select brush types such as "spatter" in [Brush Preset Picker] to create a jagged edge.
