Hair colour

[Roobarb]

In the absence of my tutor I'm trying the other experts on this one!

I'm colouring a black and white photo in Paintshop Pro, is there another way of doing the hair colour, apart from just picking a colour from the palette? I don't think they'd have had hair dyes in those days so I want the colours to look natural.

Can no-one help me?

Am feeling rather upset that none of the photo restorers on here will at least tell me what they do. Looks like I'll just have to wait and ask my tutor.

Oh Roobarb !! 

I genuinely don't think you've been deliberately ignored, I'm wondering whether you might have put your query in the wrong place for one of the restorers to see it ?

If I was you I would repeat your query on the actual restoration board, with a link to this so people don't reply on both threads.

You should hopefully get a better response from there. Having said that, if I'd been you I'd have put it here too ?

Pels.

Thank you Pels, I'll try that.

Thank you Roy. Although he seemed to be using a different version of PaintshopPro it was quite helpful, the key to getting a natural hair colour seems to be to adjust the saturation.
Thanks!
