How To Colorize Civil War Photos | with Dr James Beeghley

THIS WAS A RECORDING SESSION SO THE SHOW STARTS AT 3:09
Dr. James Beeghley is back. This time he's joining us to talk about the popular trend of colorizing old photographs. Have you ever wondered how that's done? Though AI apps can kinda do a good job at it, a true digital artist will spend hundreds of hours researching and colorizing an old photograph with layers in a photo editor like Photoshop or Gimp. Dr. James came into the studio and demonstrated how it's done. 1st Lieutenants saw it as it was record and, even though there is no visual with this, there is still interesting information shared for those of you interested in doing it yourself.

Colorizing those photos definitely makes you realize these were real people in these pictures. Another interesting interview Mr Matt.

Beeghleys work is great. Generally colorized photos looks cartoonish but his are very well done and almost lifelike

[@addressinggettysburg]

I agree
