Still More Colorization

Thanks to my discovery of the Pixbim colorization program, I've been colorizing lots of black and white album covers. I believe this is the last batch, because I systematically went through all my covers. There are a small number that I've kept black and white and/or tinted, either because I liked them better that way or I decided it was too much trouble to change.

Here are more colorizations:

David Bowie - I Dig Everything - Various Songs (1964-1966)

And for this bunch below, I didn't like the existing versions for whatever reason, usually because they were black and white or tinted. But I decided that instead of trying to colorize them, I'd just use a different picture altogether.

    1. Thanks for the tip. I don't think I'll use that since I have the Pixbim program and it does the same thing. But hopefully some other people will want to use this, cos it's free. I wonder if it's as good though. Seems like they hold back advanced features for a version you have to pay for.
