Tutorial: AKVIS Coloriage

Wedding Album: From Retro To Today

 

The author of this tutorial is Sergey Siman.

This photograph was taken in April, 1982. At that time, color photography (except color slides) was not so common. It is very pleasant to revive memories from one's youth, to once again recreate the atmosphere of joy and happiness in all of its colors. According to the author, using AKVIS Coloriage saved a lot of time and yielded an excellent result. The hardest part was remembering the original colors of the clothes and accessories.
