it’s a photoshop miracle – here’s how to do it

Dec 28, 2022

My Mom used to work at Hillenburg’s grocery store. It was before I was born so it’s been a looooong time ago. A few weeks back, Ralph Hillenburg shared of photo on Facebook someone took of my Momma while she was working there. I snatched it up.

The color was awful – an old-time pink fade.

This morning, I opened it up in Photoshop and did a one-step color correction…

I’m not sure how Photoshop knew to make that Crothersville sweater red, but it did. I did nothing manually.

Here’s how to do it:

  1. Under “Filter” (top menu bar) click “Neutral Filters”
  2. Click the option “Colorize”

It’s a Photoshop miracle!

I’m thrilled the micro bangs are only a memory (sorry, Mom), and I’m wondering what the heck a salad carnival was. Whatever it was, it was so special it rated two signs over her head. Also note the supply of Prince Albert in a can and the (Marlboro?) man riding a horse to sell cigs.

TIL (Today I Learned): In 2017 the U.S. Navy began using Xbox 360 video game controllers to operate periscopes on some of its newer, most advanced submarines.
