Morar Andrei Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I'm living in Romania, Brașov county. But I'm looking for a restoration place for an old picture. Is there such a place in my county? I heard something, but I'm not sure. There may be one in Bucharest, but it's a bit far from here. Thank you!

peter monahan Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Nice work, Morar! I know nothing of photo restoration, but I would guess that sicne you seem to have scanned the original to colourize it you should also be able to share it electronically with experts outside your local area. There a number of people in France and the UK colourizing WWI photos and I know that one can do amazing things with the right software and some training and experience. Good luck with this project!

Morar Andrei Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share Posted November 26, 2017 Also, with a bit of help from someine else and a bit if comparrison with other similar photos, I could restore the background image, which became unclear after so many years. Hope it's good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter monahan Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Morar Just saw this for the first time. I suspect, from the look of it that the background is a photographer's backdrop rather than a view of the outside, as was common at the time. Actual outdoor photos were not very common.

Morar Andrei Posted May 27, 2019 Author Share Posted May 27, 2019 Yes, there is a French officer. I think that person was part from Henri Berthelot's French Military Mission in Romania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morar Andrei Posted May 27, 2019 Author Share Posted May 27, 2019 New image completed today. Currently, I am using this hobby in order to relax after a stressful day at school, but maybe I can find a way to use these images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morar Andrei Posted May 29, 2019 Author Share Posted May 29, 2019 I know the best restorations are made by professional restorers, but currently I can't do that because of a few reasobs: 1. Most live in other countries, and I have to use a different currency than the one in Rinania 2. I'm underage 3. Due to my age, I can't make a PayPal account and many times I do not afford the cost of a restoration. At the moment, I consider that the images I started doing can be decent, especially with a bit of help from a re-enactment specialist I'm friends with.

BalkanCollector Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I see you're making wonderful progress Andrei. You don't need colorisation professionals when you do such an amazing job yourself. I would really like to see more colorised Romanian WW2 photos.

Morar Andrei Posted March 23, 2020 Author Share Posted March 23, 2020 Thank you! And for this one, I need to say a big thank you to the guys from Tanks Encyclopedia community, for helping me on the technical side, learning me some tricks and giving advice on the color palette.
