Title: Would you like to colour this family please?
Post by: oldtimer on Monday 14 January 08 11:54 GMT (UK)

Hi friends  ;)

Just wondered if anyone would like to add a splash of colour to this photo of my great uncle John, his wife and daughter please?

Unfortunately it is a low dpi  :'( as I don't own the original.

Many thanks, Judy  ;)

Hi Irene  :D :D :D

That's lovely! So glad you got rid of that spot on the baby's lip! Looked like a budding  moustache  ;D ;D I didn't realize how mucky the rest of it was too! You have brought out so much more detail that I hadn't noticed. It's great! Thank you very much  ::) ::)

Here's my late addition. I work so much slower than everyone else. That's why I don't send many through.
I had to calibrate my monitor so not sure if the tones and the contrast is right. It might look totally off to anyone else.

You're welcome and thank you. I was trying for a soft look but got worried that it might be a little to pale.
I was fun to work on. Great photo.

Hi Carolyn  ;) ;)

Thank you very much for the two lovely versions. I like the soft-focused look that you have given them. Really pretty colouring! Very much appreciated  :D :D

It is amazing how nearly all of you decided that the lady's skirt should be blue!! Do you know something I don't??  (Nah, don't answer that!!)  ;D ;D ;D ;D

All of the pictures posted on this thread are so lovely - even more amazing considering the low dpi  of the original! I am really thrilled with them all.

Thank you all again, Judy  ;)
