Here are some of the Codijy Colorizer Pro results, with the B&W and Colorized versions: I tried colorizing these, and as expected got “Garbage Out.” I also got to better understand the axiom: “Garbage IN, Garbage OUT.” I had several scanned images (not shown) from the early 1900s which were highly degraded to start, and not a lot of focus … more like a big blob. I estimate that the easy ones take about 20 minutes per, and the more complicated ones take anywhere from 30 minutes – 1 hour. In doing the colorization, the more areas you define, the better the result, but the longer it takes. ![]() Oh, well, that’s Artistic License in play. My wife, Joan, says that I screwed up in making the wedding dress white, that during that era, wedding dresses were typically ivory. You have to select which colors to use, and then outline each area with that color. For photos which are very complicated, with say a lot of people in them, or a lot of different scenery elements, those colorizations take quite a bit more time.

A few weeks ago, I bought the software “Codijy Colorizer Pro” for Windows for $50. ![]() Having researched and tried a few of the free online colorization programs, I find that they deliver a less-than-desirable result.
