Re: Tinkering With Colour
1957, as with most of the black and white photo's there is a element of guess work when it comes to colours, unless there are multiple shots or familiar photos

Re: Tinkering With Colour
I have always like that picture from King Creole. Great job with the colorizing Matt! You've done a great job throughout this thread!

Re: Tinkering With Colour
King Creole is a favourite of mine, I love the fact that Carolyn Jones went on to play Morticia Adams in The Adams Family I've coloured one of her too

I'd never seen these before. Thanks.
If there's a choice, stereo over mono every time.

Re: Tinkering With Colour
It's a different coat as he wore in May 1974 when photographed in Los Angeles. I don't believe that your colored version is real.
The coat seems more likely to be the red one he wore on February 26, 1976 while photographed giving autographs at the Memphian Theater.

Re: Tinkering With Colour
I agree with you Matt. The cape photos are so surreal, so cool. Nice job with the colorizing of this photo. Thanks!!

Re: Tinkering With Colour
I did realise the jacket was red, I struggled to make a picture with a satisfactory red. Here it is...
