I've tried. It looks washed out when I desaturated it a little bit, and takes away from the values as well...

How can I tint it AGAIN? It's done by hand, luv. Unless you meant something else, in which case, please explain?

Ah well, at least I'm happy with the original. I just don't want to spend any more hours trying to make a scan look perfect, since the scan isn't the most important part anyhow.

Oh! Thank you so much for commenting, BR!

Ooooh ok. Desaturate it in photoshop and then use photoshop to tint it via color balance. there is more than one way to desaturate in photoshop. one is through image > adjustments > desaturate but that's probably the one you tried that didn't give you accurate values. So try the other method which is image > mode >grey scale. then do image > mode >rgb to change it back and then go to image > adjustments >color balance and tint it to the color you want. if that works anyway. it's worth a shot since it only takes 15 seconds to do.

    I see what you're talking about now. Unfortunately, since this is tinted in the 'old photo' way with many different colours, merely colourizing the picture doesn't come anywhere near what I want to do. I would have to lose the greens, reds, or yellows by doing that and I also lose the original colour of the pencil lines.

    This one was adjusted from the original scan using curves and levels. Really, it's the puke-green splat on the ground that's really bugging me. Maybe I can single that part out and try.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to write down the explanation. Otherwise I probablyw ould never have known what it was you meant me to do. Big Smile
