Tony Posted October 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Makes you wonder how do they do it... Logic suggests a shades of gray conversion but what colour would something be in shadow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesV70R Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Usually done by very talented people, using something like Photoshop. All you really have to do is "guess" what the colours would have been - which is reasonably easy from descriptions of things from the time, and bob's your uncle. Here's one a friend of mine had done a while ago. Photo is WW1 era, 1916-ish if I remember the story correctly. Original: http://i.imgur.com/6OSH0.jpg Post "repair" - http://i.imgur.com/akLNQ.jpg Maybe not the best, but this was done by people in their spare time, who "volunteer" their services - many of them just to "practice" what they're doing.
