Just wondering if the color images posted by UKBASEBALLFAN are created through the use of some photo editing program. If so, what program is used, and how long does it take to create the color image?

BTW, the images look great!

The coloroziations were undertaken by 'portrait' Matt Fulling. He did use photo editing software, but I'm afraid I can't tell you which one. He did state that it took him about 40 minutes to do a colorization. Thanks for the appreciative comments, I agree colorizations like this and those crafted by Bill and Splitter look superb.

Matt Fulling uses Photoshop to color his photos (colorizing? colorizations? ). Anyway, I usually use Corel Paintshop Pro X to color photos. I can get out a colorized 90x135 photo in about 10 minutes using it. I own Photoshop CS3, but IMO is a little bit more clumsy to use if your goal is just to add color to a small black and white image.

But regardless of what program you use, it mostly comes down to the image that you're working with. The majority of the images that Matt uses for his 1900-1910 players are photos taken by Bain or whoever the unknown photographic superstar was who worked for the Chicago Daily News at the beginning of the century. They're absolutely stunning and almost impossibly sharp. They make for some real blazers when you add color to them, as you can see from UKBBF's posts. If you use a fuzzy image and try to color it, you're just going to get a fairly shoddy image no matter how talented of a graphics manipulator you happen to be.

Hi Izman,
I'm the Bill mentioned above. I use Paintshop Pro 7. If you like, I can send you an eMail showing how I do the colorizing. When I first started, it took about 40 minutes to an hour to do one. It now takes me about 20-30 minutes to do one.
