How I’m Spending My Sunday

Before and after photo of Mrs. TM Heffner, c.1900. The before photo is flat black and white, the after photo is a riot of color. Before and after photo of a George Miles, from c. 1892. The first photo is black and white, the second in full color. He has a ridiculous mustache in both.

I’m playing with Photoshop and seeing what I can do with photos from the late 1800s! Photoshop these days has a lot of nifty capabilities baked in (including an automatic “colorize” feature, and the ability to replace backgrounds without having to mask it out) and combined with a bunch of filters I have to play with, I’ve discovered once can do quite a lot in just ten minutes. This is a delightful use of one’s weekend downtime, I have to say. I hope you are likewise having a lovely Sunda...
