More Colorization

I've been colorizing a few more album covers, thanks to my recent discovery of the program Pixbim. Here they are, with one example shown:

For this first one, I found a different photo than the one I'd previously used, and colorized that.

Tom Petty & Mudcrutch - I Can't Fight It - Various Songs (1973-1975)

Gordon Lightfoot - The Riverboat, Toronto, Canada, 1-27-1966

The Allman Brothers Band (31st of February) - Morning Dew - Various Songs (1968-1969)

Rosanne Cash - I Count the Tears - Various Songs (1992-1996)

https://albumsthatshouldexist.blogspot.com/2019/06/rosanne-cash-i-count-tears-various.html

Buckingham Nicks - Buckingham Nicks (1973)

https://albumsthatshouldexist.blogspot.com/2019/03/buckingham-nicks-buckingham-nicks-1973.html 

Paul McCartney - We All Stand Together - Various Songs (1981-1984)

https://albumsthatshouldexist.blogspot.com/2019/03/paul-mccartney-we-all-stand-together.html

Bonnie Raitt - Sigma Sound Studios, Philadelphia, PA, 2-22-1972

https://albumsthatshouldexist.blogspot.com/2019/09/bonnie-raitt-sigma-sound-studios.html

Also, I just realized that the cover photo for Bonnie Raitt's album "Trick or Treat" used the exact same photo as the cover for her "When the Spell Is Broken" album. So I've replaced it:

Furthermore, I decided I didn't like the cover for this below album, so I replaced it with a totally different photo:

Bonnie Raitt – Jabberwocky Club, Syracuse, NY, 3-27-1971

https://albumsthatshouldexist.blogspot.com/search/label/Bonnie%20Raitt

The Indigo Girls - Heartache Central Time - Various Cover Versions (1982-1987)

https://albumsthatshouldexist.blogspot.com/2018/10/the-indigo-girls-heartache-central-time.html

The Indigo Girls - Closer to Fine - Acoustic Versions (1990-1993)

https://albumsthatshouldexist.blogspot.com/2019/01/the-indigo-girls-closer-to-fine.html

Imelda May - No Turning Back (2003)

https://albumsthatshouldexist.blogspot.com/2018/12/imelda-may-no-turning-back-2003.html

Richard & Linda Thompson - The Wrong Heartbeat - Various Songs (1978-1980)

https://albumsthatshouldexist.blogspot.com/2019/02/richard-linda-thompson-wrong-heartbeat.html

In this case, I found a different photo and colorized it:

Richard & Linda Thompson - The Madness of Love - Various Songs (1977)

https://albumsthatshouldexist.blogspot.com/2018/12/richard-linda-thompson-madness-of-love.html

For this one, I also found a different photo and colorized it:

Richard & Linda Thompson - Shady Lies - Various Songs (1970-1972)

https://albumsthatshouldexist.blogspot.com/2018/09/richard-linda-thompson-shady-lies.html

That's it for now, but some more probably will be coming soon. I don't want to replace all the black and white covers, but I'm surprised how many there are I do want to replace, given how I've tried very hard to have the covers be color as much as possible.

    1. Pretty cool, isn't it? But I find I have to do some tinkering in Photoshop as well, usually.

  2. Hey Paul, just wondering is that program (Pixbim) Mac or PC or both... if you know? I'm a Mac person and when I went to the website for it I couldn't find anything about system requirements.
    Thanks in advance.

    1. I don't know. I use a PC. Maybe someone else here knows?
