To colorize a black and white photo it suffices to indicate the desired colors by the stroke of the brush; the program does the rest of the work - recognizes the object's border and tailors the new color to the grayscale tones of the initial picture.

You can colorize old black and white photos from your family archive, replace colors in your color photos or achieve artistic efffects by making partial colorization or selective desaturation.

Make a present for your grandmother by adding color to her school photo, replace the colors of your car to see how it would look in scarlet, see how you will look if you dye your hair red.
