Is It Possible to Add Colour??
« on: Tuesday 17 February 09 09:39 GMT (UK) »
Hi, This photo is of my Grandfather working in the foundry i was wondering if any colour could be added to this pic?? we have no colour pictures of him so it would be wonderful to see a little added, as we lost him to cancer quite young and this picture was taken a few years before he died.
You have all done some wonderful pictures for me in the past and i know i can turn to you all for a job very well done!!!
Thank you
Mollster

Mollster, if you just want a good colour pic of Grandfather, and are able to scan it again, then I sugest you put it back in the scanner, crop to about hips up and scan at the same resolution.

About this much picture but at the same size and resolution you scanned originally.

Hi Mollster,

Another version for you.

Are you sure it's a foundry? It looks like a heavy duty garage.

Maybe Rog might like to try this size one. He gets much better skin tones than me.  ;D
