And what we learnt?! Nothing! The world and humans are still as hateful as ever. There is so much hate against others, it's a wonder the human race has survived this long. So called religious people love their books of wisdom and knowledge, yet never actually apply any of it. The next 100 years will just be the same, if not worse.insignificantman

As a photoshop artist I spend my spare time doing volunteer work restoring photographs from disaster areas. Water, fire damage is usually what I restore - and often that's all people have left of their houses and memories so every photo is important to them. I get these photos are important to history but spending hours and hours restoring photos of Royalty - for what purpose? I think they have quite a large collection already and I don't think they will even say thanks - lol.GretchenGund
Look at this way Odumbo. If a basketball team selects a captain the opposing team does not get to say he cannot be the captain and force a new one. Understand now?Ria
The picture of the refugees sitting on the railway tracks could have been taken today, little has changed, except nationality & sympathy turned to disdain.RiaReply toRia
Yorck - have you seen what's happening in Syria, there're not fleeing for economic reasons most of them had good jobs & homes, hundreds of thousands of women & children have already been killed they didn't even make it to refugee status but rest assured there are thousands of them in the camps.TruthtellerReply toRia
Because these people were from the same cultures as we were and we had a duty to help them. No one expected the Middle East to step up and help them. The refugees we are expected to help now should be helped by countries whose culture reflects them and should not be our responsibilty. We are not the worlds protector.Bristol Rose
From the headline I thought it was an actual artist's work. i.e. paintings. Ah well..thisisturok96
Then USA has been in a perpetual war for more than 20 years. Show us some recent pictures of service men and women signing up to fight for a country that continually throws them under the bus. You served? Awesome, now wait in line for years to get medical help, because well you don't matter anymore. See the politicians would have been happier if you got blown up. Costs less. However, now that you're alive and kicking surviving multiple tours in a hellhole, you're a burden to them.C Robert
Al-Coppon known to be a Scar face in the re-brushed photo there were no scar which is falsification of History. Beside original always tell true Historic time frame. These photo may be look nice but does not gives true historic account.JanReply toC Robert
I'll try to explain simply - every feature that is on the original image is still on the colourised version. Nothing is "airbrushed". The technique effectively puts layer upon layer (blended, toned, tweaked until right) of translucent colour over the image. If there was a scar - it will still be there.
