Creating Colorful effect in a Black and White Image

After Coloring a Black and White Image.
Photoshop offers one of the most robust graphics editing experiences available. In this tutorial I am going to show how to color a black and white image in Photoshop.
Step1: Open your black and white image in Photoshop

Open black and white image.
Step2: Copy the image onto a new layer

Copy image onto new layer.
Step3:Select the paint brush tool and set the mode to “color”. I set it at 80 percent opacity. You can use whatever opacity setting you like however.

Set the mode to "color".
Step4: Start coloring it in. Decide what items should have what colors.
Yellow for the gloves, blue for overalls etc etc.

Start coloring.
Step5: While coloring, I choose a darker color for the areas with more shadows.
I used two colors in this step for the face.

Darker color for areas with more shadows.
Step6: Don’t worry about coloring out of the lines. You can use the
sponge brush to desaturate the areas you don’t want colored.

Use the sponge brush.
Step7: Just coloring more of the image.

Coloring more.
Step8: When I’m done coloring, I select Image-Adjustments-brightness/contrast,
and up the contrast a little to make everything stand out more.

Select Image-Adjustments-brightness/contrast.
The finished image!
