Fooling around with the washed out color sequence in Marion Davies' The Florodora Girl (1930):



Enhanced the greens and depth of color. Looks good to me.....

Looks good to me too, Ed, but I would lighten it a tad.

looks better on big screen but yes could be lighter .... if I can keep the color

Just fer laffs: Working from very low-res image already posted:

Beautiful, Ed. Did you color correct the entire Technicolor sequence or just a frame?

Whole thing. It always seemed a little washed out (as is often the case with early 2-strip color) but it runs a little dark. But ... I like it better than the washed out version. I can tinker with it more, just for my own amusement since it's a copyrighted film.

Ed,

Is the software program you are using only good for adjusting colors in a film already in color? That's what I did with FOLLOW THRU. I wonder if there is software to add color to b/w films?

After:

I used a "filter" in Wondershare video editor. Same one I used for The Bride's Play. It's more of a tone than a tint since it mainatains blacks and whites. I applied same filter to Florodora and it added tones and enhanced color without an overall tint. I didn't go back to it since I'm on another project, but I think it can be adjusted.... I thought it was interesting applied to color.... even washed out color.
