::::Thank you. My first ever colourisation attempt. Eight colours using layers and masks. Helped a lot by the quality of the main image and that each colour was in a fairly large well defined area. The one below, Maria, was trickier - only six colours, but far more fiddly, and a less satisfying result. ([[User:Hohum|<
:::::I tried doing a few of these for Jaqeli with mixed results. I tried a ton of different techniques and was never really satisfied. Now I see that I was trying too hard to preserve the luminosity of the grayscale layer. You've allowed the colourization to darken the image (conversion of the final colour image back to grayscale would ''not'' match the original grayscale image) but it looks great!

*I wish this had not been requested or agreed to. You've faked up a nasty 19th-century reproduction with colours from the original. Even though it is a bit battered, in these circumstances we should always use the authentic image, and the new one has no place in Wikipedia. [[User:Johnbod|Johnbod]] ([[User talk:Johnbod|talk]]) 23:43, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
*I agree absolutely with Johnbod. This is a clear misuse of the process. The engraving was not coloured. It is a separate work from the original image. This is a clear falsification of the history of art. [[User:Paul Barlow|Paul B]] ([[User talk:Paul Barlow|talk]]) 15:52, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
::{{Ping|Paul Barlow|Johnbod}} It's not a falsification. I'm not trying to pass it off as anything other than what was requested, a colourisation. If it's being used in an article about the original artist and being described as their work, that is falsification. If it's being used in an article about the subject of the art, and the article editors want a colour version, and caption it correctly, it clearly isn't falsification. They may want this to provide a better (in their eyes) representation of the subject, to be more eye catching to readers, or whatever, but that us a style/content choice for them - look in the articles affected and make your concerns known there. ([[User:Hohum|<
:::It isn't being used anywhere, pal. I took it out & replaced the original. Don't try to change that. [[User:Johnbod|Johnbod]] ([[User talk:Johnbod|talk]]) 00:04, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
:::[[User:Hohum]], there is almost no possible legitimate use of this image. A "cleaned up" version of the original Bibliothèque nationale illumination (itself cropped from a larger image) might be workable, but the combination of the colours from the original with the 19th century engraving creates a new image that appears to be a 19th century chromolithograph, and that is profoundly misleading to viewers. It's not a "new" picture. It's a falsification of two historically locatable images. It doesn't matter of the article editors "want" a colour version, anymore than it would matter if article editors wanted a Rembrandt's [[:File:Rembrandt The Hundred Guilder Print.jpg|Hundred Guilder Print]] to be in colour, or wanted the Mona Lisa to be black. It isn't and she isn't, and this image too is not not in colour. [[User:Paul Barlow|Paul B]] ([[User talk:Paul Barlow|talk]]) 12:52, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

{{od}}{{Ping|Paul Barlow}} Versions of images that have been colourised here should probably *always* be uploaded as a separate version because it is a major change, and if used in articles, perhaps it should be noted in their caption. i.e. "Colourised version of <original description>". Editors can obviously decide if they want colourised versions in the articles or not, but I don't think it's dishonest to use them, depending on what their utility is. ([[User:Hohum|<
:The file of the original period monochrome photograph is "live" as both an image of its subject and as the photographer's original work of photographic art; the digitally colorized version (identified as such) is also live as a separate file as an ''illustration'' of the subject and that information is disclosed in its caption in the Chavchavadze article's infobox. [[User:Centpacrr|Centpacrr]] ([[User talk:Centpacrr|talk]]) 22:10, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
::I was unclear. Some of the other recent colourisations *have* overwritten the originals. ([[User:Hohum|<
::You misunderstand the issue. This image creates a false impression. It creates the idea in the viewer's mind that it is a Victorian-era colourisation. There is in fact no utility to this image whatever. We all know what European-people's skin looks like, and what greying hair looks like. We have no reason whatever to believe that he was actually wearing a blue jacket. The image serves no purpose whatever than to mislead. If editors don't like the fact that the only photographs of a person are in black and white, so what? They just are. [[User:Paul Barlow|Paul B]] ([[User talk:Paul Barlow|talk]]) 12:59, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
Line 544:
:::A *properly captioned* image should create no false impressions. Overwriting originals with colourisations is not acceptable though. If the image serves no purpose as far as you are concerned, then you won't use it - others may see some utility. If an editor puts in a request here, it's likely to get done unless there is an obvious issue - colourisations, in general, aren't one as far as I am concerned; It seems that you don't think any image should be colourised after some unspecified cut-off date. Again, that's up to you, but it isn't a view I share.
:::I don't trawl around looking for topic bans for editors who make requests here unless their behaviour warrants it, but it does concern me that there is one in this case. ([[User:Hohum|<
::::Images are accessed through "google images" and other search engines. Captions are altered etc. I think it's wrong to ''create'' such images in the first place. It seems to me to be beyond the purpose of an encyclopedia, a form of "original research". I do not know what you mean by "an unspecified cut off date". I don't think photographs should be colourised ''at all'', no. Nor should works of art, whatever their date. Obviously one can only do it to old images anyway, for copyright reasons. But that's a purely legal matter. If one legally could colourise Picasso's ''[[Guernica (painting)]]'', it would still IMO be wrong.
