Here's another photo "colorized" with Photoshop. The original was on
NASA'a photo archive. It was small and really smudged up with JPEG
compression artifacts. The final file is large enough to make a 4x8-foot
poster.

I replaced the back-seat engineer with a likeness of local aviation
pioneer Ormer Locklear (go ahead - Google him) and used colors of JN-4
"Jenny"s that he flew here during WWI.

Again, cheers, jeers or ho-hums are welcomed.

A valiant attempt, but it came out looking like a plastic model. I doubt
that I could do any better though.
Cheers!

Hi, Paul,

I totally agree. The original was just too small to work with to make a
believable conversion. I may contact the NASA archive to see if a larger
TIFF version is available and start over from scratch. Clear vintage photos
of JN-4s are very hard to find.
