Friday's Photo: Seymour School 1911 - See Details When Color is Added

Students and teachers at the school in Seymour, Texas 1911. 

I have been spending time these last two days taking advantage of some of the great educational opportunities at RootsTech 2022. I enjoyed trying some of the photo editing apps and programs introduced in the sessions. However, I like what I was already using at My Heritage for colorizing. 

I am not particularly fond of colorizing as I like the old photos as they are, but when I want to enlarge and study an image, sometimes adding color helps me find details not previously seen. 

When comparing colorizing programs, I used this photo posted about five years ago, Friday's Photo: Seymour, Texas 1911. It originally belonged to Eunice Ellis. Click on the link to see the original version and learn how I acquired the photo. 

Colorizing darkened some of the faces with marks on the photo and distorted a few faces. I was looking for two aunts but was no more successful than before I colorized it. However, I did notice details not noted previously and enjoyed the process. 

If you are at all interested in family history, check out RootsTech. There are tons of free webinars - literally thousands. And, most will be available at least for the remainder of the year.
