OOTP Developments Forums - Gambo and T

Thanks UKBaseballfan for the great pictures. BTW, the one of Ruffing is in Red Sox uni. I respect contributors' time and would not want them to duplicate any work currently available. I have logged many hours examining every available facepack source and selected the best pre-1950 b&w photos for color of which WrightWing has the most. I assure you that the great bulk of the players listed are not colorized in WrightWing's Facepack or Gambo. My guess is contributors are aware of the many players of the 30's and 40's which are still waiting for color. My intent to is draw greater awareness of this fact and hope that more photos will be added to the current stock to the delight of historical simmers.

I am keeping track of the photos.... there will be a release of a year by year of all pics (I like) for players acquired. Similiar to the previous release. I will call it V 2.0

there will also be a release of updates, also year by year basis. I will call it updates.

Some of the photos in the update folder will be different that the regular release. Because some individuals did release photos others may like, but I personally like the original photo we had.

So you have a couple of choices. Go with the photos I like. or take the time... starting with the 2.0 and go through updates and choose the photos you want.

I am way behind on these photos though.... page 167. My laptop spent one month in Best Buy/ Geek squad Hell.....

If you guys are interested in saving me a little time.... .bmp pics can be converted to .jpg pics using microsoft paint

open pic in paint...
save as....
change file type from .bmp to .jpg
save your file.

you will end up with the same pic as jpg and bmp in the same folder.

RE:Color Headshots

UKBaseballfan: Several more pictures popping up since my last post. So far I'm especially liking the Mize, and O'Doul (Phil uniform). You are finding photos from sources I am not familiar with (I guess I don't know them all). I am most appreciative of your effort, but I want to draw attention to the two lists I posted earlier. Kindly notice that my requests are very specific as to team uniform. This is an attempt to assist anyone making contributions to avoid duplicates. The O'Doul (NY), Kell (Baltimore), Newcombe (Cin) and Fain (ChiWS) are duplicates from other sources and not from my list. Don't get me wrong. I appreciate your time. I'm just trying to save you some.

Many of the players you quote are currently available from the facepack in color. So I am sure you would agree that any time any of the contributors care to contribute would be better spent, if they so choose, on players not currently in color. Bear in mind that the main factor influencing the quality of colorizations, as emphasized by those gifted in this process, is the quality of the original black and white pic. Those that are available I post below.

Agreed.
Or provide the pic you want to be colored.
Makes the process easier.
Or shell out some cash.

Request Color Headshots

OK. Wrong approach. I will attach photos of players in desired uniform. I've never attached images before. I'm just an old timer who loves baseball, learning more about using the computer. So, bear with me on future posts.

Trying Again With Attached Images

Bill II and Splitter24: Requesting color headshots from b&w photos. My apologies for recently going about this awkwardly. I'm new to the message board and to uploading photos as attached images (very easy as it turns out). I'm sending requests separately. Splitter24 to follow. Hope you find these favorable to colorize. Thanks in advance.

For Bill II
