Colorized Photos of Lincoln

I had a brief email exchange with Dr. Cornelius the other day; he described his own contribution to the Color of Lincoln effort in this way:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am no technician; just a historian, librarian, and writer. C. Bryan Eaton published a 134-page book of all AL photos that he had colorized a few years ago.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Evidently the process Mr. Eaton used or uses is basically the same as used by others; the quality of his colorized images is excellent and this may be a result of his thorough research and whatever artistic judgement and expertise he brings to the work.

I plan to email him for specifics soon, but the technology he uses is likely no different than that used by others.

Best regards--

Thanks for the updated information Jim.
