>Is there really a need to improve (=change) them?

Yes, there is. They offer a specifically degraded perspective into the past - namely, the loss of color. I do appreciate them as they are, and I also think that the effort to use them as inputs for current technology is also very interesting. I think that seeing these photos, the past in color, helps to humanize the subjects of the photo, and see them, and their environment in a more accessible, realistic way.

I'd like to present this collection of real color photographs that date far back - I think they are really interesting to look at, because we're so used to the black and white version of the clothes, technology, buildings from back then.
