I dont know why, but when you can think of it, the "painter" can also.
I just said it "LOOKS" coloured to me. I could be wrong.

What I think: for instance.

Bert-Jan - If this is a manually coloured photo, please find the
"colourer", and he can come and do the painting and weathering on my
model railroad. The colours on the wooden hangars are superb,
weathering on wing roots and roundels very impressive.
Colours might be a bit over-exposed, perhaps from the scanning
process?

And don't forget to take into account that if it WAS a colour original, it
would be subject to the vagaries of early emulsions and/or slide film
coatings. Plus ,as pointed out, there's the scanning process and the
variation in people's monitors....?

I think most of it can be explained by processing
in Photoshop or similar. Using some of the
sharpening tools can produce the some of the
effects. Some manipulation of the color curves
could produce others.

OK, look at the attached picture.
I've taken all the colour out and now it is a very nice WWII era B/W
picture.

Look at the camouflage scheme of the Corsair. (I could not find ANY
reference to that kind of scheme, by the way)
On the port wing the dark patches are made green, on the starbord wing the
dark patches are left grey.
If this is true then our painter mixed up the colours.

Can anyone provide me with a colour profile of this scheme?.

The propellor tip of the spit has been painted yellow, but the prop tip of
the Corsair, which has the same hue in the B/W picture, has not been
painted yellow, but now I start nit picking.

There was a time when portrait photos of families, etc. would be taken in
black and white because that's all there was, then an 'artist' would color
the photo based on what he saw of and around the subject . . . perhaps . . .
that's what occurred here rather than photoshop???

Yeah, I know.
I don't know what happened to this pic.
To be very honest, maybe nothing happened to this picture. It is just that
I (ME) do have a feel that it has something done to it.
But then again I could be wrong.
