    Hey guys! Thought I'd share my newest deviation to the world. Here is an advanced color restoration, which is taking a black and white photo and turning it into color by using certain techniques in adobe.

    I strived for as realistic a look as possible so because of that this took me 11 hours to do. Many people tell me they cant even tell the color version is a fake, but judge for yourself.

    Before:

    After:

    Enjoy.

    Uh....NO.

    Hardest thing was that damned sky believe it or not. Too much blue makes it look fake, while too little makes it look dull.

    And for the record, that's what danielle thought. "That's an amazing color picture for how old it is."

    I went, "You really think I'd spend 11 hours making something greyscale"?
