Here is a simple technique that allows you to colorize black and white images with excellent results. For the purpose of this tutorial, we will be using a photo of James Dean from the 1956 movie “Giantâ€.
While colorizing the entire photo would merely require we add 2 or 3 additional color layers, we will limit ourselves to colorizing James Dean only, leaving the automobile, sky and background in black and white.

How to achieve professional results when applying color to black and white photos using layer masks in GIMP.

You maybe know this: in the very past important letters have been sealed using a so called wax seal. This is a hot wax drop on the opening of the envelope - then a seal ring containing the unique emblem of the empire was pressed on the wax to harden the wax. So the letter was secured from spies - because any opening would have breached the original letter.
This tutorial shows how to create such a wax seal in GIMP! Have fun ;)

For one it might be a relic from the past, for others it is a symbol for pure party and dancing: a disco ball. It is a sparkling and glossy orb that has a glassy mosaic-like surface which is then rotating in colored disco light to spread the lights into different directions.
Let's party!
