Komatös Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 I have tried it myself and it works great. Something like this as a plugin for Affinity Photo would be nice.

Twolane Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 I don't know about the professional users of Affinity, but that sure does look interesting to me as a rank amateur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abdushakur Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Yea, this is the times we live in. This is an excellent resource for quick colorization. There is still an art and benefit to the process of hand painting or digitally painting old photos. SrPx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is super impressive. I've restored photos for a few clients and I've colorized those images manually in Affinity Photo. This as a plugin would be huge in affinity photo. I've never used photoshop. In fact, I started my professional photography career using affinity phot because of the price. The only thing I feel affinity lacks, is support for plugins. eMTee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the process of scanning old photos, removing dust and imperfections, colorizing them, and digitizing them for my clients. Tech is changing so fast now!

Kasper-V Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 It's impressive, isn't it! It even gave good results for some of my great-grandfather's Canada photos from 120 years ago (though the Niagara River came out green 😵). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, just the first one; I was trying it out on different photos. It handles even very poor quality ones well. If you mouse over the photo while it's uploading and processing it shows a list of things it's identified in the image; one of the things in the Niagara pic was 'algae', hence the green water, I presume.

Solly Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Kasper, perhaps the app determined the photo had been taken on St. Patricks day and concluded that the Niagara River had been treated with a dye and was competing with the Chicago River that day.
