Hi folks. I am the Historian for the aircraft carrier: USS Constellation (CVA/CV 64).

Part of my research involves gathering, correcting and/or enhancing images of the ship and archiving them.

As "Connie" entered service in October of 1961, some of the photographs are better than 40 years old, many are B&W, torn, scratched, dusty slide scans, and frequently have color issues.

The problems with colors on several are beyond my GIMP skill sets and are kicking my a**, so I'm here to educate myself.

Thanks,

Jeff S.
