"Hi! this is Kyle with Expert Village and I am going to show you some tips on colorization in photoshop. Let us try the gradient, the gradient what it does is it creates a gradient pattern over your image. So, when you pull it up it pops this up so you can try out a couple of things. We will just try their preprogramed ones here. Just check through. That one looks pretty good, it is a little bit dark, but that’s okay. We can correct that. So, if you like that, then you want to go with that or let us go ahead and check for everything, its pretty neat, it depends on your company what you are looking for, what you want, let us try this one, it is very light and let us bring it down a little bit because we already know that we can bring it up we must try the layers, now click on it and then just scroll down through the layers. Again, scrolling the layers gives you really cool variations and you never know, I always look at the layers because you never know when one of them might just come up with something and I think that a lot of times people who are designers they need to come up and need to be flexible in what they are looking for. I am just going to go without the gradient, I kind of like it. Pattern, we already went through some patterns. I don’t really don’t care for. Stroke, this is an outside stroke, sometimes you might want to use it. If you want to make something real bold on the outside. Now, it is going to go on the outside or whatever the lines are of the objects that you have and in this case since it was cutout, there is some lines over here. We don’t really want the stroke. "
