great job! you really know what youre doing
I downloaded photoshop myself 2 but i have a lot of learning to do.
I have 1 picture where my entire family thinks it is my greatgrandfather but i think he is better to recognise when in colour.
This is a reason why i would like to lear how to colour in a pic.

This is the photo i meant in the previous post:

Nice work. Now that I have a decent scanner I can finally get my photos copied at a good resolution so I think it's time to fire up Photoshop again

HJ in Italy. I hope the original owner likes the result and doesn't mind me doing this to his photo!

Another one I borrowed and posted in the 'show your HJ photos' thread. Original photo belongs to StugIII.

this photo was pretty rough and I did as much tidying up as possible but in the end decided to add effects to it. It came out ok though I think

I gave it a try...

Here is my first attempt, half an hour of work.

As you see, the background still looks kindah black and white. Any tips on colorising such a blurry background ?



Colorised



Some brightness and contrast adjustment to make it look more realistic/period



Any further comments and tips would be appreciated
