Hand-colouring[edit]

Self-nomination. This article sprang from the Felice Beato article and it connects the work of quite a number of (mostly) 19th century photographers. It's a subject that seems self-evident at first but that is actually fairly surprising, with interesting historical and technical aspects. It's a subject that is also easily confused with several other photographic practices/techniques and I think the article helps to distinguish between them. Redwaffle started the article but most of the work is my own. Pinkville 15:20, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Object, good article but still too short, IMO. Better suited for the "good" articles list perhaps? Phoenix2 19:13, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Any suggestions as to where/how it could be expanded? I thought it said pretty much what could be said on the subject. Pinkville 19:19, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

For starters, there's nothing about hand-coloring in black-and-white motion pictures (like the gold coins in Greed or the pink smoke in High and Low, among many others). Andrew Levine 21:38, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As the first paragraph suggests, the article is primarily about hand-colouring in photography. Pinkville 21:49, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Lead needs to be expanded. AndyZ 23:09, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. As stated above, the article leaves out all mention of the practice of hand-colo(u)ring frames for movies, and so fails criteria 2b. Andrew Levine 03:32, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Object. Just because the first paragraph in the article says it only relates to photography does not mean that it is okay. If this is an article concerning the entire process, then it should include all of the information available. As it stands now, the article is not comprehensive unless it includes all applications of the process. RyanGerbil10 16:02, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Object - Lead is too short. ^KILO-_LIMA 18:15, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, let's see if I (and/or anyone else) can add text regarding hand-colouring in other art forms besides photography. That should lengthen the lead paragraph at the same time. Pinkville 19:07, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
