Recently
MyHeritage.com added a
new feature to colorize black and white photos. The colorizing tool from DeOldify is called "
MyHeritage in Color". I started by colorizing a few black and white photos I had previously added to my family tree on MyHeritage.
When I first saw a colorized photo of my Grandpa, I was stunned and had tears in my eyes. My Grandpa Baldwin died almost 50 years ago and my memories of him had turned black and white just like the photos. But, then after colorizing the photo he was right before me in
living color!

Photos that have been colorized will have a small white icon in the bottom left corner of the colorized photo. Some photos turned out better than others -- the technology for colorizing is not perfect. But the colorized photos for the most part are accurate, easy (just click the colorizing button), and fast (a few seconds). Downloading is available for the original photo, colorized version, or comparison (as I have used here.)
If there was grass or trees in the original photo, the color seems to pop, as seen in the photo below.
