Using AI to convert BW negatives from over 50 years ago. There is some color coaching involved for some images, but by and large the Grok platform performs amazingly well. Here is a sample...

I'm using AI to colorize some old family BW negatives. While BW has it's own qualities, color makes older photos look like they may have been taken today.

My parents had gone bankrupt from an ill fated restaurant venture in Tyler, TX and my dad was working 6.5 days a week at a local diner. That's me in the back of the pickup truck.

My LED light table came in today and this is another test using my iPhone as a scanner for a BW negative, then inverting it with Photoshop. This image was shot downtown in Helotes in 1976. ©1976-Mark Langford

4-6-26: I'm considering doing two workshops in Pagosa Springs, CO this summer. One will be a one day workshop for beginners and the other one for two days for those of you with DSLR cameras. The workshops would happen in June and July. Would any of you be interested? I need at least 5 people to make this viable.
