Colourised Photographs

Colourised Photographs

The colourised photographs service is a process that adds colour to black-and-white, sepia, or other monochrome images. The colourising of photographs has been around for many years becoming particularly especially popular during the 1920s before colour photography became widely available.

The colourised photographs service provides a flexible ways of reinvigorating an old image. A number of options are available that can provide a range of colourised results from subtle colouring to a stronger more intense look. Most often the aim is to get the most natural looking colour image result as possible. like the image of Holly the dog seen above. Colour images can bring to life people and places originally shot in black and white, or where the colour image’s tones have faded away almost completely. Colourisation can bring back the colour to any faded photograph.

New colour prints can be made to the same size as the original (or larger if required) using Fuji Crystal Archive DPII Professional papers with a choice of lustre, pearl or glossy finishes.

Black and White… to Colour Images

After the original image or document has been photographed or scanned, it plays no further part in the process. No work is carried out on the original image itself and it is not sent away to a photographic lab. Once the image has been colourised, a preview copy can be emailed for approval before the final image is sent off for printing. Partial colourisation is also available where colour is just required in a specific area of an image.

Based in Consett, County Durham, Richard Flint Photography has over twenty-five years of Photoshop experience with copied images, artwork, and documents delivered to clients throughout the UK.

Technical Details

Images larger than 12×10 can be especially difficult to scan due to the physical size of the print and the limited availability of large-size scanners. A more cost-effective solution can be to photograph the original image with a camera. This provides a good-quality copy of the original print image without the need for expensive scanning.
