Get the Best Colorized Result
Start with the clearest scan
A clear, well-exposed source gives AI more visual information about faces, clothing, backgrounds, and lighting.
Treat color as a thoughtful interpretation
AI creates believable color from image context. Review details carefully when exact historical color matters.
Repair damage when it gets in the way
Heavy scratches, fading, or blur can limit the result. Restore the image first when the original needs more repair.

Once your image has color, choose only the next step it needs—whether that is repair, a little more detail, or a larger final copy.
