London Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 I ran across an old color photography technique called photochrom and I'd love to figure out a way to emulate it. My first thought is to duplicate the image and make a monochrome version, then use a live procedural texture on the original to create a number of single, non-CMYK/RGB color overlays, but I'm not quite sure how to create the procedural texture to do that. Has anyone done something like this? Is there another approach I could experiment with? Quote
firstdefence Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 Tough challenge, I found this: https://aircavs.wordpress.com/2010/06/18/photochrom-vintage-postcard/ doing a google search, unfortunately the images are missing.

London Posted July 13, 2020 Author Posted July 13, 2020 Thank you, @firstdefence and @appearsharmless. That's exactly what I wanted and what my subpar searching skills weren't finding. Quote

I think @appearsharmless used the wayback machine website, a very useful tool in these situations and one I’d forgotten about: https://web.archive.org/web/20141119055748/https://aircavs.wordpress.com/2010/06/18/photochrom-vintage-postcard/ Quote iMac 27" 2019 Sequoia 15.0 (24A335), iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

And Firefox to take a screenshot of the entire webpage. And Affinity Photo to make an .afphoto file because I couldn't figure out how to attach a jpeg without it losing quality after the upload. 🤔 Quote iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2019)| MacOS (Probably latest stable build) Affinity Designer|Affinity Photo|Affinity Publisher
