Glasgow Celtic Great War Dead
« on: Wednesday 03 July 24 15:39 BST (UK) »
Hi
Hoping one of you kind folk with take this task on. Looking to have the photo colourised in the colours of Glasgow Celtic FC. The photo is of a player Peter Johnstone who was killed in action in May 1917. He had a slightly reddy complexion with browny/red hair. If the image could be cut out from the background that would be great.
Thanks in anticipation.

Just a quick attempt.  Is that the correct green or?

Thanks for a great first attempt!!!  The green colour is just about there. The jersey would be woolen, its has a bit of a shine on it at the moment.

My Try. No change to background.
What kind of background are you looking for?

Hi
Thanks for taking the project on. I am looking to have him cut out of the background entirely. I want to be able to place him in another image.
Thanks

There you are. I have a transparent background png of it but the forum’s file size limitation would not allow it. :-[
