OK, however you spell it on which ever side of the pond laughing Has anyone had any success with adding colour to old photos ?

Included is a photo I've started in some "other" photo editing software, but I can't make it work in PhotoDirector! The "How To Do It" help videos are not very helpful for what I'm trying to achieve here.

Any suggestions please ?

Cheers

Google what you want to do and find that there are apps out there that use Artificial intelligence to make it much easier to colorize photos over like doing it manually in PhotoDirector.

Thanks tomsac, did a search the resilts are very interesting for a very quick result. smile I would still like to try to achieve better results by doing it myself ( if possible !), must be my arty background I guessinnocent

Take care. I just want to edit and make pictures, walk my dog and go fishing.

Photoshop is an industry standard. Maybe with it it will turn out better? )))

Hi selersanthony, you're quite right, Photoshop is the software that most folk who do retouch/colourising use.
But you see the problem is I don't have/own it ! I'm looking to see if it's possible to use a bit of software that I've used for many a year now. Even though PhotoDirector "isn't quite there - yet", PD is improving all the time and has great scope, I just need to upgrade my old PC to get the best out of itinnocent
