I'm Stuart Humphryes (known online as BabelColour). I clean, repair, enhance and transform early colour photography.

I use Adobe Photoshop. The colour data is already in the image, Photoshop doesn't provide it.

Hello Ruth - I know the girl you mean (it's Kitty Stieglitz ) but not sure which photo you remember as I've worked on half a dozen autochrome portraits of her.
