So far, you’ve read about ways to make color photos black and white. But what about when you want to add color to a black-and-white image? Elements lets you do that, too.

Figure 10-6. Left: If you decide to color an old black-and-white or sepia photo, put each color on its own layer. That way you can adjust the transparency or change the hue or saturation of one color without changing the other colors, too. Right: A very low opacity is enough for old photos like this one if you want to give the impression of a print that was hand-colored.
