I'm buying one of these:

It's like seeing Strange in person in the monster makeup!
Is this a legit color photo Max ? Or is it photoshop colored ?
Photoshop - I don't think there are any existing color pics of Glenn Strange in make-up.
This colorized work was the topic of much discussion on another board...

Glad he finally started selling them. That other fellow and all the hubris that resulted created a great opportunity for him to sell them himself and get a lot more attention from the monster fan message board community than he probably would have otherwise.
even the ebay ad states that this has been colorized ..initially, it was a BW photo.. in that case, i might pay 5 bucks...
Hi erik and welcome to the UMA!
The fellow who colorized it did it using photoshop over a period of many hours of work as well as research to find descriptions of the makeup color by members of the production crew. I think he did an outstanding job and for me it's worth the $15 for sure.
hi tony,
thanks for the info.
This is such a beautiful job, I couldn't stand not having one--ordered it tonight! I'm familiar with the backstory on the creation of this (and the surrounding controversy caused by the unauthorized copying and selling) and I know this is about TOP of the LINE when it comes to "restored to life" colorwork. A great photo, indeed.
This and that Bride posted elsewhere on here both look amazing. Great work on them really. I probably should get one of these...
Someone needs to do some of that Photoshop magic on my Helen. And NOT the kind Richard Olson did either! Helen really chewed my ear off over that pixel mishap!
