Not so long ago, to colorize a black and white image you had to use expensive digital imaging programs like Photoshop or free programs that were somewhat difficult to learn. In both cases, it was necessary to have a certain level of previously acquired knowledge and invest time in selecting the colors and making a series of final adjustments.
All this has changed with the advent of artificial intelligence and its machine learning techniques, which are also being applied to image processing, and especially to coloring black and white images. These artificial intelligence-based tools analyze the image, detect visual patterns and relate them to what was learned during your training. This leads to a very realistic prediction of the colors that correspond to the image.
How to colorize black and white images with Image Colorization API
One such tool is the DeepAI Image Colorizer Model, which you can access online by entering https://deepai.org/machine-learning-model/colorizer on your desktop browser.
Once the DeepAI colorizer interface is open, upload the image saved on your hard drive that you want to color to its server. To do this, click on the button called Image (up arrow icon).
After the image has loaded, click Generate and wait for the colored image to display on the screen.
If you like the result, click the Download button to download the image to your hard drive. If not, you can apply a slight touch-up first by clicking the Enhance button. After this brief process you can download the work done by artificial intelligence to your hard drive.
Repeat the same process with each of the black and white images that you want to color.
Remember that they can not only be family photos, they can also be captures from old black and white movies, photographs of old collectibles, among others.
