I gotta say guys !...some outstanding colorization on B/W pics done in this thread, amazing how they are brought to life.

Your work is amazing Larrister !

I also collect some period studio portrait photos to display with my headgear what type of software is used for this work ??

Felt this deserved a bump!

Just a quick one I did of Oberst Seigfried Voigt.

Does anyone have his award list as there doesn't seem to be much information about him on the net.

first pictures

Hello all,

actually this thread made me want to know how this recolour stuff works and i made three pics (please note these are my very first ones, so no comparison to your stuff, but i'd like to have some feedback, esp on the colour of uniforms, orders, skin etc - watching them always in b&w, i never thought of eg their hair or eye colour so i mostly kept it somehow neutral, no green or blue eyes).

well i'm not 100% happy with this but still excited how easy it was (note these were my first attempts, have some mercy, dear Sirs )

Kind regards,

Matteus

Hi Matteus Nice work for first attempts. keep going on and you'll find that it gets easier as you become more confident.

well done
