One big collection of vintage photos are tinted. Tinting gives the photo colour, and is mainly used in studio portraits.It was most popular from the 20s to the 40s, and diminished in popularity when colour film became readily available. Hand tinting is an art and can range from very good, to, something less than stellar. The girl in the portrait above looks like she just recently graduated from high school or University.
