Ingeniously simple.

Thank you for the video. I found many of these kind of photos for my "family tree" and 10 years ago I asked a friend to clean up a photo from ±1905 and he did a wonderful job. In the mean time I learned how to do this myself and I also use Affinity Photo, but then the iPad version and it's so much fun to be able to 'play' around with those old photos. I never tried to color them in, because I like the nostalgic brownish look. But I will certainly have a go at coloring a few of them like you did here 👍

It is clever how we can do this these days. If you said we could do this to someone 5 or 10 years ago, they would have thought you were crazy. Like I have put on other video comments on this subject, I hope that some clever person will soon be able to work out what every shade of grey represents in a colour. That way we will be able to see the exact colours of the clothes our ancestors wore on these photos and what colour things in the background were. I'm sure that can be done with today's technology. After all, we can easily change a colour photo to a B&W and we can do a lot of mind blowing stuff on Affinity Photo and other editing software. Obviously a photo will have to be properly exposed first to do it accurately,, or an element of being able to adjust the results on a overexposed or underexposed photo, but I think it is very possible to do that.

I think it's closer than we think! There are some artificial intelligence projects where computers analyze color pallets and try to accurately restore old photos so this manual way you see here will probably be obsolete in a few years :)

Kurt Mark I have 2 photos like this that I need restoration. Are you willing to help me I am looking for someone professional like you.

It's kind of weird (not necessarily in a bad way) that you have to use other people's photos to do this.

Nice video but did not like the speeding-up. Important steps were just glossed over for the sack of time.
