In the Dakota Badlands 1948

This is an old photograph of my mother and me at 5 years old in the South Dakota Badlands in 1948.
I scanned the black and white print and colorized the result in Photoshop, and used Photoshops sky replacement.

The skin tones look a bit off. Perhaps if you made them a bit more yellow-orange? Part of the problem might be that the skin colour is too similar to the rocks and the clothes (your mum's trousers). Maybe if you made the rocks redder, the skin colour more yellow-orange and the clothes a different colour it might hang together better. And the colouring of your face is incomplete. There's an area on your right temple and round your right ear that doesn't have any colour on it.

I checked your colorization using neural filters.
Your result is way off.
You can tone down the reddish skin tones.


 

No tweaking.

I did not do anything. The colorization filter is that good.

I guess I better rethink doing any more colorization, I didn't even know what neural filters were when I did this.

The black and white is perfectively acceptable. Attempts to change the picture look bad.

Thanks to all for the comments, my only intention for this photo was practice, I only did one previous with much better results.

I've played with this filter and found it's not quite ready for prime time.
