THE PROJECT : Colorize to Remember are a project I started since few dats, to show colorized moment of our common story. I try to keep alive the memory, in all modesty I also try to give another look to the usual colorized photography we seen, without any wish to break the feeling and the originals photos.

PROCESS : Photoshop for the colorization, my own feeling and logic to determinate which color I need to use, global color and lights matching, Smart Sharpening.. Also Historical reseach.. Lot of time and love :) Around 3/4hours or more for any of my colorizations.

WW2 in color did this kind of thing well. Really makes it easier to get a sense of history when it's in color.

I think for the uniforms... desaturate a little and turn down the blue level

My first thought was "this painting is stupid all the proportions are wrong" so you can imagine how I felt when I realized it was real life

Fun fact: the picture was taken as the train was reaching top speed

That's because in the olden days they thought if you went quicker than 10km/h, you would turn inside out.

Korea was a policing action.

Well north and South Korea were in a declared war... the fact that we didn’t call it one legally on our end makes zero difference

It was a war for them, but a policing action for the UN and a defence ain by china.

Legal reasoning that had no effect on what actually occurred. There was aerial combat! Extensively! It was a war

A war between the Koreas.

Hey OP good work on the color, I was wondering if you could recommend a your favorite tutorial for colorization?

7 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

I would try to message them directly, people often don't want to share the tools of their trade publicly.

7 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Well there's literally thousands of tutorials on YouTube, just seeing if they would share the ONE they watched.
