erichf69, I feel you on the frame-by-frame photoshop work. That stuff can be so brutal, feels like it’s never going to end. I really dread that stuff, but sometimes that’s the only…😦

If I might offer a slight suggestion on your work… Your colorization is great, but it currently looks just a tiny smidge too much like colorized footage in your mp4 composite there. With the background being a largely gray (with no spots of really saturated color) I recommend you try reducing the saturation a tiny wee bit on the colorized layer. Also, try lowering the brightness just a tad (or increasing contrast a tiny bit?) as the shadowing for the foreground material looks a smidge too bright. Again, just tiny adjustments of those, to get a closer overall feel-match for your final composite.

With the hardest (and very impressive) work behind you, I think toying around with these — testing via small increments — could have you hit an even closer sweet spot in your composite than you have now, accomplished with only minutes of adjustments (instead of hours of work) 😃
