If you like us, then please "like" us.Colorizing a vintage black-and-white photo used to mean trusting it to a skilled artist who hand-painted it. In our new Digital Age, going from black-and-white to color simply means uploading it to any computer nerd (us) with a decent photo restoration software program and high speed internet. What's the difference? Nothing, really - just how it's done in our Modern Times.
From Color to Black and White or Monotone . . . $35 to B&W, $40 to Monotone
Very dramatic effects can be achieved at a very reasonable price. Color to black-and-white is a piece of cake. Color to monotone is a piece of cake with icing. P.S.: From an original black-and-white to monotone is $35.
From Black-and-White to Accent Color . . . $75 and up
Taking an old and cherished black-and-white photograph and colorizing just the central focus of the shot can be very dramatic. Unfortunately, I mis-judged the focus of this picture and colorized myself instead of the vintage car.
From Full Color to Accent Color . . . Original Accent Colors $35 to $70, New Accent Colors $75 and up
Jackie and Vivian - my surrogate grand-kids. Notice how the new black-and-white background is given a soft focus to de-emphasize it and to give depth to the picture.
Elf in the garden. All but Elf, the flowers and just one giant leaf was converted to black-and-white. Let your artistic imagination soar.
And below is a collage of Full Color to Accent Color photos.
From Black-and-White to Full Color . . . $80 and up
This wedding photo from Stephanie needed some minor touch-up before it was colorized. Watcha' think?
From Black-and-White to Full Color . . . $80 and up
Of course, most of the time you will want to go from black and white to color. This is a post-WW II photograph of Michael Horn, a friend of a friend, doing a ski tour of the Swiss alps. When he showed me the original and asked if it could be somehow improved, I replied "Sure, and I know exactly what's the matter, Horn." (I heard that groan!)
