Colorizing photos

[karlo]

personally.. i think the kriegsmarine portraits come out the best ...all the ones ive seen here are outstanding...maybe its the contrast between blue and white....i dunno....im gonna have to give this a go..have a pic of my grandfather in uniform that deserves the treatment...cpl nice jobs on heydrich....Akiras (?) actual colour pics posted earlier on should be used to disern light...thats if trying to go top notch....i esp love the potraits.....i think it brings these ppl to life a little....once again..K

Larry, you have refined that art down to a science. I would go so far as to say you are quite the professional.

Excellent work guys! Love the landscape pics. I tried to step away from WWII theme and tried few WWI portraits:

Some amazing pictures there. My favourite out of the recent ones would be #754 - killer shot ! Also 752, the WWI ones & the Orel one - I think the understated slightly de-saturated look works very well for these.

For me, they are all very good and I know these involve a hugh amount of work in photoshop or some other editing program.
So well done to all involved.

I think the portraits are sometimes the hardest. Getting the right mix of colour and depth in the face can be very hard. And trying to decide is a face more yellow or pink or brown or some crazy mix in between is always very hard.

thanks guys, much appreciated, Larristers scenes are beyond my skills, though

and i.spring you're right, skin is key (+ getting the colours out again - after adding them)
