Stars (Colored)

I'm taking a stab at learning to colorize photos to look like old 50s

and 60s photos. For comparison's sake,

is

the original--which do you prefer? I don't really know what I'm

doing yet, so if you have any pointers on technique, I'd appreciate

them. Please visit

I think you did this one real good. It reminds me of the pictures that my friend's Polaroid used to produce.

Doug, The two colors I associate with old pics that have faded over the years are b&w (gray) and sepia. This looks greenish on my monitor. The compoition is well done and brings back distant memories. Regards, Bernie

Thanks, guys. I appreciate your thoughts. I'm still trying to get this technique down, and I'll probably try with a few more photos, but I think I'm improving.

I think you're getting there Doug. Wouldn't change too much if I were you. Actually it's quit funny. Manufacturers spend tons of money to give us more quality and you're going out of your way to get a faded look.

Thanks, Ton. It is funny that people seem to appreciate technological advancements, but also have a soft spot for the way things used to be, despite the modern improvements.

The older we get.......
