I have two nearly identical images. The larger one is black and white and the smaller one is color. I’d like to make the color image the same size as the black and white one and then change the Blend Mode so that I have a single image, with the color of the smaller image and the detail of the black and white image.

Any ideas as to how I might go about doing this?

F1

Image size

Use the smaller of the two’s pixels to resample the other, then layer.

Idea? why don’t you just convert the COLOR to GREY then do whatever you want with them?

open the B&W picture
open the color picture and drag teh thumbnail over to the BW picture put the layer of the color picture on COLOR or HUE or OVERLAY OR SCREEN adjust opacity if necessary
resize it to match the BW shot
save as PSD in case you want to adjust later

Okay, I’m assuming there’s a good reason why you can’t just convert the colour image to BW.
You can choose to tackle this problem the hard way or the easy way.

The hard way is to overlay both images and then play with opacity, scale, rotation, distortion, perspective and alignment. A very time consuming, and possibly futile operation.

The easy way is to let your computer do all the hard work for you. Open both images into photoshop.
Click on *File*, select *Automate*, then *Photomerge*.
When it asks you what files to use, select *Open files*, and make sure yuo have ticked the option to *Attempt to automatically align the images*. Next, you’ll see a preview of the merged files. Ensure that you tick the options labelled *Pespective* and *Keep as layers*.
Now click okay, and you should find you have a new image with two layers. Each layer having one of the two previous images, perfectly sized and aligned with each other.

Because that is obviously not what the OP wants to do. He wants to use the *color* of one image, and the *luminosity* of the other. Perhaps because the black & white image shows more detail and sharpness than the color version, so he wants to get ‘the best of both’ by combining them.

The bit where I said "I’m assuming there’s a good reason why you can’t just convert the colour image to BW" wasn’t a criticism of the OP. Why would you think it was? And why would you think it implies I’m unaware of the various reasons for doing this sort of thing?

It is clear that it wasn’t a criticism, but as your original comment appeared to bear no relationship to the initial
question (or any solution thereof), it had me wondering too.

I can assure everyone that it wasn’t my intention to mislead. I included that opening statement because another poster had replied to the OP with a statement telling him to simply convert the colour image to a BW one.
I assumed that this wasn’t what the OP wanted, as he wouldn’t have asked the question if that was the case, and my opening sentence was intended to reflect that.
Apparently it wasn’t picked up that way. I apologise to the OP, and to everyone who was offended by my opening sentence.

the OP asked to keep the DETAIL of the BW larger file makes perfect sense tome
that a smaller color copy of same image is degraded in detail

as the OP has not replied we can never know if he took any of the advice and if any of us got what he was asking

You DO NOT need to depend on whatever the OP want. or if you see the OP is shooting in the dark then you can shed some light.

1. You just convert the Color to B&W then you have 2 100% identical images

2. Then you can do whatever you want without having to care about the SIZE cuz they are exact same size.

That’s it!

I think you don’t understand what the OP wants. He doesn’t want to have a B&W picture, he wants to have a color picture. However, he wants to use the luminosity data of the B&W pictue for this color picture, because that will give him a more detailed/sharper color picture. Converting the color picture to B&W doesn’t accomplish that. Anyway, I think the OP has all the information he needs.

Then PLEASE explain to us what the OP wants as the OP has vanished after dropping the bomb here.

I don’t know what you understand but most of us don’t, but I can only be able to make wild guess from what the OP posts and wants. Lets see

– The OP has 2 images (1) COLOR (1) B&W almost identical except the B&W is little smaller than the COLOR

– The OP wants to increase the B&W to same size as the COLOR

That’s it! and that’s all we need to know, then I suggest

– Convert the COLOR to B&W then s/he will have identical (1) COLOR (1) B&W

.. and I do have problem understanding what you are trying to say. You say something about using B&W to improve the COLOR and as some of us have mentioned the OP can convert the COLOR to B&W then s/he can follow your suggestion (only after conversion).

The larger one is black and white
and the smaller one is color.

Well, it’s either we are talking about 2 different questions or you misread the question. This is what I remember what the OP said.

– 2 images almost identical the B&W is little smaller than the COLOR image

– The OP asks how to RESIZE the B&W image to match the size of COLOR image

a. Of course we won’t resize or resize isn’t a right term or method to match the scale. But I don’t want to correct the OP

b. SCALE should be the right tool and better method than Resize.

c. *But* converting the COLOR to B&W should be the best way to get 100% identical and exact SIZE

That’s what I read, so you may be reading other message?

We are not talking about two different questions and I did not misread the question either. In contrast to you, I do not try to *remember* what the OP said, I just went back to his original message and actually *read* it. Also, I read it *completely*. I did not stop reading half way, thinking that I already knew what he was asking. Maybe you should do the same thing, it would have saved both of us some time.

Read the *entire* question, not just the first half. I was quoting *exactly* what the OP said, so there should be no difference in opinion about what the question was. Let me quote the OP again, in case you cannot find the original message any more:

I’d like to make the color image the same size as the black and white one and then change the Blend Mode so that I have a single image, with the color of the smaller image and the detail of the black and white image.
[/unquote]

Please note the last part of the message, where the OP also explains *why* he wants to resize the color image… Does the word ‘Blend Mode’ ring a bell at all?… Does "a single image, with the color of the smaller image and the detail of the black and white image" ring a bell?

So I missed the not important part that B&W is a larger image.

And that’s exactly what I said.

1. Convert the COLOR to B&W then he will have 2 exact same size. It may be little smaller than the original B&W but almost identical so it should be a big issue. Or he can make the COLOR larger before convert to B&W

2. The word "Blend Mode" may make a loud noise to you but not me. Because it’s the least important part.

I did not stop reading half way, thinking that I already knew what he was asking. Maybe you should do the same thing, it would have saved both of us some time.
– 2 images almost identical the B&W is little smaller than the COLOR image

– The OP asks how to RESIZE the B&W image to match the size of COLOR image

a. Of course we won’t resize or resize isn’t a right term or method to
match the scale. But I don’t want to correct the OP

b. SCALE should be the right tool and better method than Resize.
c. *But* converting the COLOR to B&W should be the best way to get 100%
identical and exact SIZE

That’s what I read, so you may be reading other message?

Read the *entire* question, not just the first half. I was quoting *exactly* what the OP said, so there should be no difference in opinion about what the question was. Let me quote the OP again, in case you cannot find the original message any more:

[/quote]
I have two nearly identical images. The larger one is black and white and the smaller one is color. I’d like to make the color image the same size as the black and white one and then change the Blend Mode so that I have a single image, with the color of the smaller image and the detail of the black and white image.
[/unquote]

So I missed the not important part that B&W is a larger image.
Please note the last part of the message, where the OP also explains *why* he wants to resize the color image… Does the word ‘Blend Mode’ ring a bell at all?… Does "a single image, with the color of the smaller image and the detail of the black and white image" ring a bell?

And that’s exactly what I said.

1. Convert the COLOR to B&W then he will have 2 exact same size. It may be
little smaller than the original B&W but almost identical so it should be a
big issue. Or he can make the COLOR larger before convert to B&W
2. The word "Blend Mode" may make a loud noise to you but not me. Because it’s the least important part.

answered on 1/25 cannot believe you are
still posting on this
from the OP

The larger one is black and white
and the smaller one is color.

JOEL is STILL beating his dead horse

as the OP has not replied we can never know if he took any of the advice and if any of us got what he was asking

well he did reply way back in the thread on 1/24

I have. Thanks, all!
