Carney Claus - Colorization

Post Reply New Topic

Once in a blue moon, I'll mess around with a program called Paint.NET, a poor man's Photoshop. I don't use it often and I'm not that great with it, but I like attempting to colorize old photos. Key word: attempting.

Since it's Christmastime, I typed in black and white Santa. One of the images that came up was from Art Carney in a Twilight Zone episode. Another user talking about subwoofers recently had another image of Art Carney as Satan Claus for his avatar, so I took it as a sign and went with that one. I felt like sharing. Why not?

He's presented in the less common green Santa suit. Scroll down to see him in RED and to see the original image.

Merry Christmas.

Here he is again in a more traditional red:

And here's the original:

hey that's pretty good

could you describe what you did in paint.net to get it colorized?

I just wanted to bump this for myself. I thought it was last year, but it was actually 2 years ago. Amazing how time flies. I haven't really done any colorizations since.

Merry Christmas everyone.

and merry xmas to you also

It's been 3 years since I did that last colorization...and I haven't done any colorizations of any kind since. Since I had the day off and some free time, I decided to mess around and do another one. I've gotten sloppier, but I didn't want this 2021 colorization to turn into another project. You know, keep going back to it and forever making little adjustments. So, I threw this one together, giving myself a deadline of completion, regardless of mistakes. Just wanted something passable.

Posting it here mainly for myself, but if anyone else is into colorizing B&W photos, and is much more advanced than me, I'd love to see them.

And merry Christmas, etc.
