Click to expand.LW; I will let you know what I think-but it is a fact that the colorization process has come a long way in recent years. Still the original had a gritty 'photo documentary' look and a real sense of immediacy. Still.well nobody has ever topped 'The Longest Day' in terms of raw power, and if somebody can update it so as to be more accessible to the young folks of today? Well I will let you know what I think a couple of hours after the mailman comes. JeffinMNUSA PS. And by the way 'The Longest Day' gets my vote as the greatest movie of all time.

Well nothing like it could probably ever happen again; And there was a commitment to fact and respect for the actual warriors who had done this magnificent feat of arms. AND a respect for the fellows on the other side. Now to colorize this old epic? Well we will see.
I have been noticing that The History Channel has been experimenting with tinting old B & W's but has yet to cross the line into full colorization. Why is the History Channel applying Photoshop methods to these classic old photos? Well it is a fact that B & W is hard on modern audiences' eyes. Can full colorization be too far behind?
Probably not. Now going frame by frame and colorizing old B & W movies sounds like a gargantuan task (hey I am Photoshopping some old B & W's my father in law took in the Phillipines and it is a pretty time consuming process!) but if it can be done with technical precision and honesty to fact? Well then let the technology speak for itself. I intensely dislike most colourising.

If it's something to do with a perception that rather crudely applied colour automatically improves things then you've only got to watch Ice Cold in Alex or similar to give the lie to that. Monochrome was never an inferior artistic instrument.

The shift to colour may have improved blunt reportage somewhat, though even then early commercial colour processes lost so much detail when compared to Silver Halide. It's hard enough to get correct colour balances and 'true' colours from early colour film (nearly impossible without balanced monitors and much swearing) let alone start from scratch, anything applied to black and white will always contain conjecture, even down to certain colours displaying contra-intuitively, or hardly at all, on B&W emulsions. I do have some understanding for people like Jeff adding a dash of colour to the family album. Tinting's been around for as long as photography and seems OK to me regarding nostalgia shots, they're as much an ornament as history and people enjoy getting more of an inkling of what relatives might have looked like in the real world, but applying it to a piece of work that stood perfectly well on it's own two feet culturally, historically, or artistically, seems a form of vandalism to me.
Anyway, everyone knows the world actually turned colour around 1950. It was something to do with the atom-bomb tests in the Pacific - my dad told me he was monochrome up until about the age of 10 so it must be true. I believed him for quite a chunk of my childhood. Cheers, Adam.
