Colorized Photo of Titanic Leaving Under Tow

[Calvin Harvey]

Just decided to colorize and clean up this great photo. Tell me what you think. Thanks

Not bad. I've been wondering how it is the correct colours are chosen for this sort of work. I take it there's a standardized palet to deal with each variation and shades of gray.

I used a close match from the Titanic Model Association web page. Thanks.

How can you make this?

 

[Calvin Harvey]

I used Adobe Photoshop; it's tools lets you create layers for the colors and clean up the image.

Nice job! What were the color codes if you don't mind me asking? Sorry if I'm rebooting an old thread. I know this thread is more than 6 years old now. Just curious.
Thanks.

I'm not sure you'll be getting an answer, Michael, not because the thread is so old, but because Colin Harvey has not visited us for most of those six years. His last visit was on 3 May 2012.

This about as perfect as could possibly be expected.

Thanks! Just thought I should check and see.

It's a bit late to be critical, but Titanic flew the blue ensign, not the red. In those days, the right to fly it was earned by ships whose captain and ten of her crew were members of the RNR.
