Krantzbucks pics to colorize

The 1925 Yankees image posted above of Braxton has already been excellently colorized, (I believe to enhance the operation of the Kings Of Diamonds simulation game), it may be more beneficial to work on the 1926 Yankee image I post as an alternative.

A while back a disproportionate version of the attached Debs Garms black and white image from 1933 was used as the source for a colorized image. Mysteriously to me as I had posted the proportionate version to be used as an alternate. However, here is the colorized image adjusted to a more correct aspect ratio.

Here are 2 alternate images for Eric McNair that may well lead to a higher quality outcome than the alternatives submitted above. The Red Sox image dates from 1938 and the White Sox image from 1939.

Again please find alternatives that you may well believe will provide improved finished images to work on of Hogan with the Giants (1932) and Braves 1933.

Indeed he did and I am very aware of it, but I don't see how in any way, shape or form whatsoever that should discredit a legitimate request to colorize an authentic, high quality image of him six years later in a completely different uniform for that team. From your earlier posts I understood that you relish a challenge. However, it is your right to decide what images you wish to work on and to what extent you wish to conform and enhance the rich tapesty of the history of what was the USA nation's National pastime.


I guess we also have a very different viewpoint of what is a challenge, I see a challenge in terms of enhancing authentic black and white images to their original color, however, I get the distinct impression you see more of a challenge in amending original images to represent an alternate view of reality by making changes to them to represent a more convenient version of particular needs rather than an expression of reality. I guess it is a reflection of current standards in terms of authenticity, but when there are literally thousands if not tens of thousands of high quality black and white baseball images out there that could be colorized I have great difficulty in seeing why that should be a priority.

To me the work of great baseball photographers like Thompson, Conlon, Burke and Brace etc. should be viewed and cherished as baseball's equivalent of the great portrait painters of history who operated before the invention of photography to give us an authentic, accurate impression of baseball history. They are baseball's equivalent to Da Vinci, Velasquez, Gainsborough, Van Dyck, etc. Their work should be revered and respected not used as a basis to contort to a different purpose than what was intended or what indeed represented reality, and similarly should be shared and available for the benefit of the baseball community not stored away in a particular individual's private collection.
