Klape Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Hi, I've been doing colorization on old pictures as part of my work as a photographer, for my clients, and wanted to give back a bit to the community. Here's the first performance of Led Zeppelin as the New yardbirds colorized. I tried to be as close to the reality as possible (I've check for the color of Jimmy's strap, the drum kit ..) Hope you like it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If any of you have some others input, such as the color of the background, or Robert's shirt edit : actually it might have been green or blue . Edited May 7 by Klape Drumkit was grey, not blue.

Hope you like it ! That’s looks awesome man. JPJ tits and all. Just kidding with you, the colors are brilliant! Great job. I wonder why it looks like he has a set of tits though. The shirt was bunched up I suppose. Again, amazing contribution my friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do know that they did like to hang out with a certain group of people, specifically when they were in New Orleans. Have a great night!

Many thanks for the post. Thanks everybody, It takes time, you go element by element, work on each colors for each element and you really need to pay attention to the light so that the colors/atmosphere of the whole scene make sense. And yes, that's a big fold on JPJ shirt ! Edited May 12 by Klape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeplz71 Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 There must be a way to match up a color image of the dragon Telecaster and superimpose it on to a black and white shot, to get perfect color match. Like with Danish TV using some of the color pics that exist and matching it up, even on the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like with Danish TV using some of the color pics that exist and matching it up, even on the video. Yes for sure, it's pretty easy to do actually on a single shot. You can barely see the front of the telecaster here, so I didn't bother doing that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
