This works amazingly well, just putting in some of my favorite black and white scenes from movies... wow! Now I need some kind of tool that can do this on every frame of a black and white movie. I cannot wait to be able to watch some old classics fully colorized.

#32Wow! I am impressed. I uploaded a WWII photo of airmen posing in front of their plane and got an amazing result. I’m not certain if WWII era life vests were bright yellow, that seems out of place, but it’s a good guess if not.

#33Can I paint some colors as a starting point (like img2img) and let it finish the rest? What about a conversation, like, "the dress isn't blue, it should be orange", doing on top of previous prompt?
not yet, these are great suggestions. it's always a dilemma to add features to mitigate the performance of a weak model, instead of making a better model. most of the problems go away with a better language and colorization model, and many model-specific features are made in vain

#34I tried it on the photo linked below and it makes the string instruments look like they're made of brass. Not trying to bash it since I thought it was pretty impressive overall, but I'm curious about what leads to this type of failure. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jazzing_orchestra_19...

This one generates the string instruments with the correct colors.

Impressive!

#37Wow.
Re: Show HN: I made a new AI colorizer
#38Wow I put a few b+w photos, initially shot in colour so I can compare how it did, and it more or less nailed it—great work. They were shot on a iphone, so I wonder if newer digitally-shot photos have more data for the app to parse, or if it's generally easier compared to film (and whether it uses any EXIF data)
