US Civil War...colourized photos

[Paul Kernan]

I'm generally not a fan of tinkering with original pieces but this photographer has done a beautiful job on these photos

I think these are really cool and are probably the most realistically colorized photos I've seen.
I've always enjoyed looking at old CW or WW2 photos, but as dumb as this sounds, it was always difficult for me to imagine that these guys lived or fought with the same blue skies and green grass that we do. These photos change that.

That is really cool.

Guess we don't need to paint any more ACW figgies, eh ?

Thanks for these Paul - cool to see history come a bit more alive.

I have seen many of these before on this useful forum - the artist is zuzah...he is a member and he posts his work. The first pinned string in the link is a tutorial on how he does it with photoshop. Fascinating stuff generously shared. Now how do I use PS to paint figures?
