Demsal8's Colorized B/W Pictures For You! - Page 272

FlashRetro · February 14th, 2018, 09:42 AM

I have one picture that Iv'e tried to colorize but the contrast is killing me and my results have been, not good. If you have some time and could give this one a try I would greatly appreciate your effort. I have also checked google, startpage and the Carrie Fisher thread here for a color version, but no joy. There is no rush. Thank you.

@uncas22 - I'm sorry for the delay, this job turned out to be quite more labor intensive than what I had expected. I also ended up taking quite a few breaks between the different parts. The eventual results are shown below. Let me know if you'd like anything changed.

@texastrooper - your two images of nudes are next in line and might be done in a day or so. The biggest problem I see is the spread on the first one.

@texastrooper - your two images of naked ladies are completed and shown below. Let me know if you'd like anything changed.

1876 colored since 23 May 2010

@Duggy - your image of Anastasya Shematova is next in line and should be completed within a day

**demsal8** · February 18th, 2018, 11:50 AM

@Duggy - your single image of Anastasya is completed and shown below. Simple and easy. Let me know if you think anything should be different.

1877 colored since 23 May 2010

@ponky - modifying your image of Miss Pearl is next in line and should be done within a day. HOWEVER, it's possible that with the sand covering the tatoo that I may not be able to do this as requested.

**demsal8** · February 18th, 2018, 12:14 PM

@ponky - there was an easier way to remove the tatoo than I had originally considered. Finished image shown below. Let me know if you think it should be different.

@mrdata69 - coloring your image of Miss Loving is next in line and should take about a day. I'm assuming that you mean that her blouse should be purple and not Candy herself, right?

The pictures look great buddy. Thanks a lot for your effort.

**demsal8** · February 19th, 2018, 10:47 AM

@mrdata69 - your image of Miss Loving is finished and shown below. I had to use a few tricks to get the right colors on her outfit. Let me know if everything is okay.

1878 colored since 23 May 2010

@fragilefrankie - your three photos of Miss Samples are next in line and should be done in a little more than a day.

Yeah, looks fine, thanks!
Some constructive criticis I have: The Background could be in a nearly blueish black better. It would let the skin colour more luminous, maybe and the hard butt cut softer sliding in. The Eyes could be more greenish - but its more personal opinion. And last but not least - the nipple have to much colour in and its too much hard cutted to the rest (wrong anatomical transition, i think

Wise mode: the simplicity is ingenuity;-)

@fragilefranky - your three images of the well endowed exposure artist are finally done and are shown below. This was delayed because I had some other outside projects that needed to be done on a higher priority than your tasks. Let me know if you'd like anything changed.

1881 colored since 23 May 2010

@FlashRetro - your request for coloring of the Intergalactic Princess is next in line and should be completed within a day.

@Duggy - in response to your critique of Miss Shematova's photo, let me present the following. First, the background was nearly black and any attempt to make that show a color is usually doomed to failure. I do have one technique which allows me to force a color to almost any intensity on a black color (provided the color you want is red, blue, or green) but the more color used causes any details in that area to disappear. So I deliberately used as little color as I could and still show something more than a plain black. This operations, however, often makes anything else touched during this work to lighten dramatically whether you want it to or not. I normally do the people on any image first then do the background, but, in this case, I did the background first, cutting around the figure so as to not affect it during the coloring. The silhouette shown below illustrates how this is done. Regarding the work done on the eyes, I took a very close look at the eyes on the sample photo and found that they are multiple colors, green around the outside and brown or yellow in the middle. I tried to match this as close as I could when working on them. The final coloring of the nipples was done without any model since you gave me only a headshot to use for sample. I therefore picked one of the many possibilities I've seen over the years for the color. As far as a "hard cut" on the nipples, I always blend the edge of the aureola into the surrounding skin to make a smooth transition, take a closer look!

Cheer demsal8
thanks for your detailed reasons.

- I would prefer a background in black more like R0G0B30

so it's a rich nightblack and give the hard cut on her butt a soft crossing
- Yes, the eyes are great, you are right! (sorry - im half an irish/german so have my preferences

-but the nipples...I don't know... have found some more of her same shooting - maybe helps:
