Another question on my mind has to do with how much (if any) research you do to determine appropriate colors for the time period of the photo you're working on. Re: my grandparents' wedding photo, I like the blue version for the same reason others mentioned: it brings out their eyes and skintones. HOWEVER, it doesn't look like an old photo. In fact, it looks quite modern. The burgundy version appears more appropriate for the time. In fact, if I think about the frame that I have the original photo in right now, I could slip the burgundy version right in and it would look great. I couldn't do that with the blue version.
So, that brings up the question as to how true to real life you try to make your colorizations. Have any of you done research to know the appropriate colors of the costumes, walls, etc. of the various time periods? And if so, do you attempt to be as "true" to the period as possible, even if another color might be more visually appealing?
Thanks for any thoughts you might have on this.
