Beach - An Ambient Image - Colourised black and white image with soundscape

[@mikeosinski50]

Another beautiful job, just for fun how many layers would something like this take.

[@PhotoRestorationVideos]

Around 40 to 50 I'd say. Many can be blended just like a paint palette so no need for too many. How did you like the sound?

@@PhotoRestorationVideos That what I was thinking, I do a little colorization of old photos but never tried a complicated photo like this. Mostly studio portraits and have thanks you videos of how you did skin really helped me up my game.

Glad to help. Did you watch the other images in this sequence and how did you find the soundscapes?

[@mikeosinski50]

@@PhotoRestorationVideos love them it was spot on for the photos, well done. Funny I was looking so hard at the photos. Seeing if I can guess how you did it, the sound kind of snuck up on me and made me feel I just took it and looking thru my view finder. Can't wait to see more.

The sound also adds to realism. Did you record it yourself?

[@PhotoRestorationVideos]

All done with sound libraries and sound bites, in sound layers, to create a soundscape.
