I haven't tried any other colorizer tools but this one works very well for me. Thank you.

#22I 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...
thanks for the feedback! it's made out of two models, one model creates a caption and the second model takes the caption and the black and white image and colorizes it. if you click on the edit button you can see the text that generated that colorization. if the text is incorrect, you can edit the text and recolorize it. this often leads to a better result, however, some cases are still hard, especially damaged photos.

#23Excellent work - enjoyed the rick roll. Would you mind sharing how you've done the GPU deployment?
lol, thanks! onnx, docker, and fastAPI on CPUs with AWS fargate. although i'm switching to GPUs in a month or two, so if you have any suggestions let me know.

I've also been searching for GPU solutions for potential small projects like this, and so far banana.dev and runpod.io seem promising.

#25Thank you so much Emil - I have some old photos B/W of my dad who is no longer with us and have wanted to colorize them somehow for years. The results from just dropping the photos on your page - no tweaking or whatnot - are incredible and have me in tears.
Amazing work.

#26Just a quick heads up, when I ran the file and then opened the result in irfanview, I get a warning that the file is a JPG file with an incorrect extension.
You may want to check your encoding settings to make sure everything gels together.
Otherwise, great job! This is pretty nice stuff and way better than I could do on my own!

#27Awesome job! This makes me a bit envious. I am hobbyist colorizer [1] who did it the old school way (with tools like Affinity Photo and lot of manual work). I tried de-oldify and other tools but I justified my work thinking how horrible they were but pallette.fm is way too good. Not sure if I would find the motivation to restore old photos anymore. Glad that this was just a small hobby for me and I had just started l…
ty! i'm glad you enjoy the tool. As for whether or not this tool could replace a professional colorist, I think it depends on the specific project. For some projects, Palette could do a great job of automatically colorizing photos, and for others, a professional colorist would still be necessary to get the best results. Especially when the projects require historical accuracy or a high aesthetic standard. it also makes colorization more accessible, which leads to more opportunities to refine results manually or say print the results.

#28This is incredibly well done! Congrats. It’s such a solid layer on top of recent developments and offers instant value.
Wish you much success!!

#29Can 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?

#30Can you summarize the approach you took on creating the model? Really curious!
