- High-contrast B&W photos with clear subjects produce the most realistic colorization.
- The AI may guess some colors incorrectly (like clothing or car colors) - these are plausible but not necessarily accurate.
- Historical photos from the early 1900s-1960s tend to colorize well because the AI has extensive training data from that era.
- Reduce saturation slightly for a more natural, period-appropriate look on vintage photos.

The AI predicts plausible colors based on context (sky is blue, grass is green, skin tones), but it cannot know the actual colors of clothing, cars, or buildings. The result is realistic but not guaranteed to be historically accurate.
The current tool applies automatic colorization. For manual color correction of specific regions, you would need to use a photo editor on the colorized output.
Yes. The tool converts sepia and tinted photos to grayscale first, then applies colorization. Results are similar to starting from a true B&W image.
