Photo Colourizing
This photo was taken in 1968.

Process
Adobe Photoshop’s Colourize Neural Filter is used only as a jumping off point. The results are mediocre at best.
Now it’s time to make precise selections with the pen tool!
Individual layer masks were created for the backdrop, the stool, each article of clothing, hands, teeth, gums and eyes. From there, 2.0 px of feathering was added to each layer adjustment.
