By Mark McConville and Michael Carroll "The faces of war have been brought back to life after a series of World War One photographs were expertly colorized. Colorization of old photos has been brought to a fine art in the digital age, and War History Online is pleased to present this latest in our series highlighting new examples of this amazing art form. Striking pictures show a US soldier displaying his trophies including a German badge and gun, the Christmas truce in 1914 and female war workers feed the charcoal kilns used for purifying sugar at the Glebe Sugar Refinery Co. Greenock, in Scotland. Other incredible images show the Great War from the other perspective with Austrian soldiers pictured, a frostbit Lieutenant Foehles shortly after landing from a flight and Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria whose assassination helped kick-start the conflict…" Main page link Amicalement Armand

What exactly is the process for colorization? Do they examine the shades of grey to determine what color and shade it might have been or do they go in and manually colorize depending on what they know of the uniforms and what they think looks right? Some gorgeous images by the way… |

Prince Alberts Revenge, I don't think it's as simple as assigning colors to shades of grey. Reading about the great black and white movies from the first half of the 20th Century, the film makers had to employ many tricks to get certain colors to read in grey the way they wanted. Colorizing as show in these examples is far more of an art than a science. |
