Reworking old photos by danette

Reworking old photos

Taken back in probably 1980. Photo scanned. Already adjusted colors but they still seem off. Any other tips using Lightroom? I have adjusted the individual colors, but I'm not well versed in that area.
I just love the old-timey look of this image. Not being a Lightroom expert either I wouldn't know what to suggest. Maybe if you google it?

Very cool. I like it.

I just did a screen shot of this. I opened LR and created a b/w version. Then I clicked on the WB eyedropper in the Develop module. After clicking on that, I clicked on the lawn in the b/w version. It made a noticeable difference.

Actually I like the vintage coloration. Anything else would make it look strange, to me.

The eye dropped was in the color version, I used the gray in the b/w version, and it adjusted the color in the color version. You could also click on the gray in one of the trees and get a similar result.

@bill_fe I will try that! Though clicking on "auto WB" has adjusted some colors, I haven't used the eye dropper!

I've ended up with a similar dilemma in updating scanned older photos. In the end, I mostly let it look vintage. It is tricky adjusting -- good luck to you!
