Digital Hand Coloring in CS & Elements
Here are a couple of videos demonstrating hand coloring in Photoshop CS5 and Elements 9.
Even if you are using Elements, watch the CS video first and then the Elements version.

I tried to find some information on digital hand coloring using iPhoto, but was unsuccessful. I am not sure if you can do it in iPhoto, but if any of you know a way to hand color using that program, please share by commenting on this post.
Feel free to ask any questions by commenting here as well. Other people may have the same question so don’t be shy about asking….
