This was my most challenging old photo colorization to date. I think this new one will surpass it.

Before
Detriot-1953.jpg




After
Detriot-1953 cropped colorized LARGE 6a.jpg

Thanks! It takes a lot of work to do that. I literally need to digitally paint in all the colors and hues by hand using my computer mouse like a brush. It is like painting with a brick.

Oh yeah they do. Currently, its 3 hours for me.

Only question is what does this mean for the medical stuff going on

So you get to pick the colors?? Of course some colors like Sunoco would be known. I was guessing mid 50's, the Buick jumped out to me, not to mention the 26.9 gas price.

I'd get the impression of not much.

Yep, I have to interpret the colors based on whatever I can find for the period the photo was taken.

I have also learned to interpret colors based on their shades of gray tones by using known references like the colors of trees, wood, concrete and asphalt.

Well its neat that's all I can say. A great hobby during the winter too.
 
It’s been raining buckets here all day and it’s still going. Over an inch so far and it isn’t supposed to end until late tomorrow night into Monday morning.

At least it’s warm, up close to 60* tomorrow and 47* now.

If this were snow, It would be a blizzard...and I have no interest in dealing with 2+ feet of snow.
