This is a wedding photo of my grandparents, Leroy Parkinson Tanner and Eva Margaret Overson Tanner. The original photo is below in black and white. The colorization took only a few seconds using the MyHeritage in Color™program on MyHeritage.com.
This is a fabulous new technology. I did make a few changes to the color image to increase the contrast and decrease the highlights, but otherwise, the photo looks great. Here is a short explanation of the process from the MyHeritage in Color™ website.
The colors are reconstructed by the colorization algorithm and may not be accurate. Consider this a technological simulation that gives its best guess on what the past looked like, by bridging between the past and the present. The model was trained by millions of example photos, and thanks to this it is capable of generating very realistic results. But there are cases where it has no way of knowing what the true colors were (for example, for specific items of clothing) and this may result in incorrect colors.
