Thanks Megan for such a great picture to color.  I had fun doing it and the kids are beautiful.  Makes me miss my little girl...she's been away for two weeks and it's killing me.  No worries though, I get to pick her up Saturday!!  :D

Great grandad's face was extremely difficult for me as I'm not very artistic.  I hope I didn't muck it up too bad.  He looks a little young too me but I just couldn't seem to get him to look older.  Maybe he would have appreciated it :P!  Anyways, I just thought I'd give you another picture, it's practice for me and hopefully enjoyable to you.

Thanks Judy, it's hard for me to guess what colors would have been worn since everything is b&w...maybe I should do some research and see what was available then.

Hannah, well, let's try brown eyes then with a brown coat to match.

Very nice Paula...I love the effect you got!  Looks like I need to expand my knowledge and learn other ways of colorizing.

Here is a coloring for you Hannah.  I left the roughness of the old photograph, it seemed to give it a bit of 'life' to me.  Anyways, if there is something you would like changed, like the color, let me know.  It's very quick and painfree.

You're good, mimaxey, welcome to Roots.
You've found your slot.

Thanks Paula, I just hope that I can do justice restoring pictures for those who want it.

Well, thanks Meg!  Comments like that will surely help keep me going.  I just wish I had more time to dedicate to restoration.   Everyday and every time I adjust a photo I learn something new, maybe soon I will get good enough so it doesn't take 4-5 hours per picture :P.  Oh well, as long as it stays fun and interesting I'll keep doing it.

Hello Meg and all,

I'm new here too but love the old photographs.  I also love learning to restore old photos and this is the perfect place.  Anyways, here is my attempt to colorize your grandparents.  Hope you like it.
