Discover a new way to colorize black and white photos fast and with extreme precision in Photoshop, without letting AI change a single detail!
🚀 Join PiXimperfect Pro - The Ultimate Photoshop Training Course: https://pix.live/pro
In this video, we’ll learn several methods that combine today’s tools with core Photoshop techniques to deliver precise, archive-safe results in just a few minutes, rather than hours of manual work. We’ll start by using Neural Filters as a base, then refine the results with Color blend modes, selections, and masking so the original image remains untouched while the colors look natural and believable. I’ll also show you how to safely use Generative AI like Nano Banana strictly as a color guide, locking it into place so nothing shifts and every detail stays intact, making this approach reliable for serious restoration work. Whether you’re using an older version of Photoshop or the latest one, there’s a method here that will work for you. I hope this video helps you. Thank you so much for watching :)
