Awesome Photoshop Colorized Photos

That was the first thing I noticed!

*had*
And, not that I know the first thing about it, but a closer examination of the original sure looks as if they are brown. Compare that to the original photos of those with blue eyes and it’s very obvious.

“Most” of these, I think, the photographer had no choice.

@Wally — I see what you’re saying. Knowing that no color would appear, and taking full advantage of all b&w had to offer them, the photographers were trained to see and make the light more dramatic(ally) to allow depth, contrast, and texture, rather than relying on color, to make good photographs. This is such a wonderful way to photograph. This, along with so many other reasons, is why to this day, I believe that shooting black and white film (before going straight into digital photography) is so vital for seriously learning all that photography has to offer as an art. Light is (almost) everything.

 Your an idiot! Most (if not all) of these are public domain and need no permission. It is amazing that people come on the internet and all of a sudden become Einstein (oh can I say Einstein without being told I will be sued) on law and such. Just enjoy the photographs.

Whilst I agree, the edited photos are pretty good, you’re incorrect on the SOPA/PIPA thing. Both of these only made it much easier to do what’s already possible. If a copyright holder has an issue with something, they’ve always (and will always) be able to approach the web master and issue a Cease+Desist notice . This gives the site owner the option to remove any copyright content or the owner will press legal charges.

I thought a few of them came up well, such as Abraham Lincoln, Albert Einstein and Alfred Hitchcock.  (That snap of Honest Abe was taken about 150 years ago, but it looks like it was snapped yesterday).
