Which Photos Work Best for Colorization? A Complete Guide
Not all photos colorize equally. Learn which types of images produce the most stunning results and how to prepare them.
Prioritize sharp, well-lit images
Clear facial features and balanced lighting give AI the best cues for accurate color prediction. Blurry photos can still work, but expect softer results.
Mind the resolution
Higher-resolution scans allow for richer detail once colorized. If possible, scan negatives or use high-quality flatbed scanners for prints.
