Try SERIF PhotoPlus X4. It’s a fraction of the cost of Photoshop and just as good in all respects.

Nice, imi, I’d loved to see the entire movie colorised.
One thing though, you gave the same guy different eye colors in the first two pics.:wink:

#15

thanks. :slight_smile:
sometimes the angle of the lights make different colors,I use the same palette every time,in double same things.
I can’t colorize the whole film,because I haven’t got any software,(and also the copyrights),this is a very big job.

#16

Can you paste those photos in Imageshack ? for some reason tinypic didnt work in my computer.

Hello folks, I was just surfing the internet on this subject, came across this thread, and thought I could add to it.
I use a freeware program called Serif PhotoPlus. You can Google Serif and/or PhotoPlus and find the download. There are two ways to colorize, by adding colored layers, or my preference, use the free-drawing tool to outline each seperate part to be colored, then using the Gamma and Color tools to adjust the color in the part just outlined. There’s more, such as blurring, etc, but thats the basic. Below is a link to my Photobucket album… at present I have 190 WWII pics colorized, mostly US Army Air Forces and Navy Aviation, but a few ground pounder things, and a couple of non-US. I would appreciate any feedback on what ya’ll think of them.

OK, says I cannot post a link yet … will try in another post.
