hey guys, I'm looking to restore this (very) old pic into color, any way to do so w/o the complexity of PhotoShop? I have the abilities but I'm pretty damn lazy. In any case, I know that in grayscale each shade of gray actually represents a color so I was hoping their might be a program to do this. Also, I'm a macfag so this might make things harder.

do it the old fashioned way, make a print and grab a damn paintbrush.

You mean you want to restore it AND retouch/paint it artificially it in colour?

No, there is no quick and easy way to automatically do all that. Each shade of grey does not represent a color, it represents a shade of grey. THAT'S WHY IT'S A BLACK AND WHITE PHOTO. If the original is B&W, there is no color information to "magically" appear for you. You have to fake it.

You don't know what you are talking about or asking for and what you seem to think you know is bullshit. I suggest you do some googling or stop being so god damn lazy and start working on it in Photoshop.

what the fuck kind of lash out is that? Goddamn you need to get laid. In any case, yes each shade of gray DOES represent a color on the spectrum. If you'll notice some shades are lighter some are darker, if this was not the case the photo would be in true black and white. you're a fucking idiot, now stop being a dick and go back to /b/.

You have no fucking idea what you are talking about. Good luck finding the lazy way to magically converting it, fool.

is what OP said, which is impossible with a greyscale picture, keyword being 'restore'.

where's the proof that I'm wrong? All you can do is sling insults with no logic or backup. For your information there's a program called blackmagic that will do this but it's only available for DL on windows, so how 'bout a massive cup of shut the fuck up with a side dish of get the fuck out?

fucking shit, people, I'm tired as all hell. I know what I'm attempting to get across here and I can stick to my guns, so I said "restore" you know what I'm fucking talking about. "Change" how can I "Change" it to color. Goddammit I hate 4chan sometimes.

How about no, you silly little bitch. You've talked a lot of shit and clearly shown your ignorance on photography. When you finally know what you are talking about, then you can come back and ask questions. Idiot.

once again nothing but insults. I don't claim to know "photography" it's basic knowledge you fucking moron. You're typing a lot but not saying anything. A simple fucking google search of "Black and White photos to color" will bring you to blackmagic, a program only available for DL on windows computers, I have a mac therefore cannot download said program. Now, go ahead and say something that means nothing and basically just repeats the last thing you said.

I think you missed the point here. The entire reason I'm asking is because I'm lazy. I don't feel like going pixel by fucking pixel just to colorize this damn thing.

If you are too lazy to wipe your own ass, then you can enjoy the stink you make. A life lesson for you for free.

I just looked that up. The results, with the very partial exception of the girl in the black dress, look horrible and unrealistic.

There's people you can pay to paint it, OP.

damn that is good. However, this has nothing to do w/ my bowel movements, which btw are horrifically irregular. Took a shit the other day and not one sense... I'm starting to worry.

that's another "fuck that". I'm not paying anyone... also I'm jewish... but not religiously just in the wallet.
>> sage sage
Too cheap to pay and too lazy to do it even though you know how? You want everything for nothing. You'll have to do one or the other or enjoy being told to fuck off by the troll wave.
