I'm still working on my colorization technique and have been trying to apply all the extremely helpful knowledge I've acquired since coming to RP. I still use PhotoImpact as my editor. I purchased PSP X since (haven't really used it, though), but am leaning more and more toward making the advantageous and financial leap to PS.
I'd appreciate your feedback on my most recent effort. My self-imposed task was to isolate the woman, retouch and colorize her.
The first attachment is the photo (actual size) I had to work with. The photo was used as a newspaper clipping (in 1957) and included this brief description, "The bride wore a mauve wool jersey street length dress, a white satin hat and a corsage of white rosebuds." I also knew she was a redhead with a very fair, pale complexion. I had no clue as to other colors so I relied on intuition. I did do some manipulation, primarily moving her eyes, as she seemed to be gazing off camera in the source.
