What colourization can and cannot know

A colourizer makes its best guess at natural colours: skin, sky, grass, wood. It cannot know that a dress was red. The result is a believable colour version, not a record of the real colours, which is worth saying on the back of a family print.

If the photo is damaged, restore it first, then colourize the restored version.

Common questions

Questions about colorize a black and white photo

Are the colours accurate?

They are natural and believable, but the model cannot know the real colours of clothes or objects. Treat it as an interpretation.

What does it cost?

15 coins per photo.

Will the colours be accurate?

They are plausible, not documented. The model knows what skin, grass and sky usually look like; it does not know the colour of your grandmother's dress.

Does it damage the original?

Nothing is changed. You get a new colour version and your file stays as it was.

What does it cost?

15 coins, and the first one is free.
