So is the tunic and skin tone. He looks dead. Stick to black and white.

Correct. This tunic still exists, and if you see, it looks fabulous...

Of course, no doubt you can do a better job.....

No wonder no one can be bothered posting with stitch nazis behind every keyboard.

Hey buddy, I was just trying to help. The shoulder boards are the wrong color and that is a fact. If you don't want opinions, don't post.

Why are you angry with me? I did not complain about your comments.
What is incorrect about the colour of the shoulder boards?

A pair of Oberst-Gruppenführer boards from Sepp Dietrich's estate for orientation.

If you are directing that comment at me, I'm not mad at you at all. I think you did a nice job, except for the color of the shoulder boards bases, which of course are gray, not yellow. Just trying to help you out...

Hello there,
There are a few things that need some fixing.....but this doesn't happen overnight either. Colorizing b/w photos is a very painstaking/time-consuming process which cannot be rushed. Many hours of practice with different colors and trying various photo types is the only way to get better at it, trust me.

I suggest starting with very basic photos, such as an EM without ribbon bars/etc. Usually the clearer/more detailed the photo, the easier it is to colorize. Work on the skin colors first. This should be your main focus for the next dozen photos you do. Mess with the different mode options in the software to get a more realistic look. Good luck!

No wonder why some people no longer bother to post for opinions.
