Fix Photo

Colorize — AI Photo Repair filter

Color an old B&W photo.

Black-and-white family photos hold people we never got to meet in color. This filter studies the grayscale tones and fills in believable, period-appropriate color — skin that looks alive, fabrics with plausible dyes, skies that feel like actual weather. It avoids the hand-tinted postcard look by keeping saturation restrained and letting the original grain and lighting stay in charge. Scanned prints, old ID photos and inherited albums are its natural habitat. The result is less 'edited photo' and more 'the same photo, taken on a different day with a different camera'.
