52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks Week 45 Prompt - Colourful

52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks

Week 45

Prompt – Colourful

My Heritage added to it's website the ability to take our photographs and have them enhanced, colourized and animated or some combination of the three edits. I have played with this for the past few years. I do not like the “animate” edit. It takes still portrait and allows the head to turn slowly from one side to the other. It really creeps me out. Enhanced has been very helpful for most of my old photographs. It really takes the old photographs and clears them up, removes wrinkle lines etc, The colourizing is pretty cool. Most of my photographs that I have done this to is quite nice. However I do realize that the original photograph is always the best for genealogy. I will give examples of my colourizing efforts in some of my photographs.
