Photo colorization (from black and white to color)

Hey there!

I thought about a thing that completely falls under the photo AI stuff: photo colorization.
Load a black and white photo, do some magic, and show a realistic color photo.

Yes, that kind of stuff already exists, and it works already damn good.
You can look, for instance, at the Deoldify open-source project, and some websites (like MyHeritage) are already offering services like this (based on the same open-source project), but with too few options.

I’m sure that this kind of AI-thing is something Topaz can make for general purpose with great quality. And it can be amazing.

I would certainly buy this if Topaz is going to market a program like this.
At the moment I am looking with one eye to Pixbim, which does a nice job, but is not quite there yet.

Old post, I see, but I have to agree. Was just thinking about this today. It would be great if the next big addition to the AI Photo app would be colonizing black and white photos. Yes, there are such apps available already, but I haven’t found one yet that I thought was really good.
