I had some black and white photos of my passed-away tuxedo cat, fully expecting this to produce a terrible result, but instead I was blown away by accurate and subtle colors added. Pinkish nose, ears, green eyes all came out of the photo.

#82I've never posted here before but this demands a sincere "thank you".
I just colorised some family photos from the 1930s to the 80s and the results are heartwarming.
Thank you for making this and making it free and, most importantly, easy to use.

#83This is a really impressive colorizer. Don't feel guilty monetizing.

#84Incredible service. Just annoyed once I show it to my folks I'll be dragged into multi hour tutorial session on how to scan / upload old albums. Also curious which "filter" they feel will most reflect the subjective reality of the past.
Re: Show HN: I made a new AI colorizer
#85Awesome 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 mak…
Even if the results are not 100% historically perfect, 99% of the hard job is done. Skin tones, plants, skies, water... they all look incredibly good, and the object segmentation is almost perfect too.
The tool seems to struggle with fabrics, but that part is by far the easiest to fix with a traditional photo editor.
Congrats man. You made my mom happy this evening. Please keep a free tier on your tool.

#86I immediately was limiting this to think it would just colorize B&W images, but you can use this on images with colour to use natural language to modify the colours of an existing image too!
Re: Show HN: I made a new AI colorizer
#87It would be nice if you could put hex colors in the prompts. E.g. instead of saying "man wearing blue shirt", you could say "man wearing #0010e4 shirt".

#88Thank 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.
Comments like this are what make me come back to HN. I hope the memories are kept alive.

#89Wow, it’s awesome! What technologies does it use?
I’ve used to restore the only photo my wife has of her father who died when she was 3yo. She almost cried seeing the colori ed photo, thank you
