Who needs Photoshop anyway?

Interesting read, what I also found interesting was the article on colouring of famous B+W images which is linked at the bottom of the page. Was really quite something.
 
I actually really enjoyed looking through that & reading the page. I love stuff like this :}

Yeah, she has some pretty good skills.

I love these colour photos from Prokudin-Gorskii in Russia 100 years ago. These are 'magic lantern' style images, so the colours are what was actually there, rather than being added afterwards. I think they make a very strong argument for shooting documentary work in colour rather than black and white that is often associated with the genre.

Seen all of these before, and I always found the picture of the General's an amazing piece of work. :thumbs:

I always show people these pics when people say that it's all Photoshop now, not like the old days, and you can't believe anything you see. :eek: I show them some of these and say that they've always done it. ;)

And almost every picture movie stars has been 'played about' with too. ;) :lol:
