Suggestion for (future) feature:
Either as a separate package or an add-in utility to work as an enhancement to VEAI, AI Colorization would be a wonderful addition. It could have two primary functions: But potentially more.
1.) Re-colorize existing color video. - First to improve color quality, and additionally to creatively change. emphasize or deemphasize video colors.
2.) Colorize (old) black and white images.
3.) Or de-colorize to BW/Grayscale.
4.) Or simply to reduce chroma intensity to facilitate better enhancement

I’m certain that with a little imagination there are a lot of uses for these capabilities.

There is a lot of promising work in this area on Github,

Totally agree! I have began to restore old family photos, and many are under exposed, or shot in poor lighting conditions where eyes, mouth ears are too dark to make out. I experiment with viewing those old photos under different color filters, and details that I could not see before, suddenly where visible. It would be useful to be able to view a photo under a light filter, such as one with multiple colors provided as a build in tool option in the Photo AI platform.
