Adding colour to b/w photos
I have a b/w photo that the customer wants colourised, does anyone here offer that service?
I did say I didn't do that side of things but they left it with me to 'see what I could' do Hence this post
Any ideas?

Re: Adding colour to b/w photos
Thanks, that's a pretty cool site - something I'll get a good look at when I've got the time to enjoy it properly.
But for now, with this pic - I'd rather get someone else to do it

Hey John, just realised yesterday that you are in Belfast, came right past your door on the bus and suddenly remembered the business name
PS: I like the sign

Too bad you couldn't have called in for a bit of a chin-wag, Ian.
Now that you know where we are, maybe we will see you next time you are in the area.
Featurepiece, I've done a bit of colourising in Photoshop from time to time and have always been reasonably happy with the results. However all of the really good examples like the ones you'll find here usually take tens of hours to complete. Commercially produced re-touched photos are often the result of a trade-off between quality and what the customer is prepared to pay.

Thanks John, I've just spent over an hour staring at those photos, gladly ignoring the stuff on my table btw, I must say some of that work is just incredible! Also, I've now got a list of names to Google later when I get home
