A closer look at color

Small details make a photo feel familiar

Start with a clear original and explore how color changes the way you see it.

Explore natural-looking skin tones
Bring warmth to portraits while checking that faces, expressions and light still look like the original.
Give clothing and materials more depth
See how subtle colors reveal the folds of a dress, the texture of a coat or the finish of an old car.
Rediscover the world around the subject
Trees, skies and buildings provide context. Look for colors that work together across the whole scene.
Keep the original as your reference
Compare the same framing, features and object boundaries. Keep the untouched original alongside your color version.

Before you save

Look at more than the color

A good comparison helps you decide which version you want to keep.

Check faces and skin

Look for consistent tones in faces, hands and shadows. Watch for changes to facial features.

Check where colors meet

Inspect hair, clothing and object outlines for color spill, missing details or unusual patches.

Check what you know

Compare known clothing, objects or locations with reliable references. AI cannot establish historical colors.

A black-and-white image does not reveal its original colors. AI-generated colors may be inaccurate and cannot establish the true color of skin, clothing or objects.

Photo colorization questions

Which photos work best?

Choose a scan with visible faces, clothing and background detail. Keep the monochrome original so you can compare the structure separately from color.

Will it recover the original colors?

A black-and-white image does not reveal its original colors. AI-generated colors may be inaccurate and cannot establish the true color of skin, clothing or objects.

Are restoration and colorization the same operation?

No. Colorization adds estimated colors; it does not promise to repair scratches, creases or blur. Use the restoration tool separately if needed.
