How Do I Change a Black and White Image Color in Photoshop?

You can colorize a black and white image in Photoshop using the Neural Filters feature. Here's how:

1. Access Neural Filters: Open your black and white image in Photoshop. Navigate to Filter > Neural Filters in the menu bar.
2. Activate Colorize: In the Neural Filters panel, find the "Colorize" filter and toggle the switch to turn it on. Photoshop will automatically attempt to colorize the image.
3. Refine Colorized Areas (Optional): The automatic colorization might not be perfect. You can refine it by:
   • Adding Focus Points: Click on areas of the image where you want to influence the color.
   • Choosing Colors: After adding a focus point, use the color picker to select the specific color you want that area to have. The surrounding area will be affected by the color.
4. Adjust Color Settings: The Neural Filters panel provides sliders to adjust various color settings:
   • Saturation: Increase or decrease the intensity of the colors.
   • Color Balance: Fine-tune the overall color balance to achieve your desired look.
   • Artifact Reduction: Reduces any unwanted artifacts introduced during the colorization process.
5. Add Custom Color (Optional): For more precise control, you can directly specify colors for specific areas using the focus point method described above.

In Summary: Photoshop’s Neural Filters offers a quick and easy way to add color to black and white images, with options to refine and customize the results to your liking.
