Re: Colourised Pictures Of Enid Blyton
I think there are at least two online applications that allow colourising black and white pictures by using artificial intelligence. Am I right to assume that you are using one of them?

Love that wheelchair. And the shoes. Do we know what the injury was?

Re: Colourised Pictures Of Enid Blyton
The photos look really good! I think Enid Blyton was in the wheelchair after being bitten by a dog, John.

How can this be a property misdescription (is that even a word?)?No longer allowed to describe it as a dream home immortalised in children's literature
Who makes up these stupid rules?
Good photos Pete and Splodj. I had an aunt who colourised b&w photos in the 1940s. No technology then, I'm not sure how it was done.

Re: Colourised Pictures Of Enid Blyton
I have a few photos of my sister's wedding (mid-60s) where somebody colourised the b&w originals. I believe they were done like one would colour a picture in a book, although probably using a special type of colouring medium for that purpose.
