COLORIZE PHOTO
This new tool for 2020 makes impressive use of AI to turn black-and-white
pictures into living color. Auto mode, after converting your image from
monochrome to RGB and churning for a while, presents you with four colorized

with solid colors than for
patterns, though it handles
varying lighting on the
selected areas well.
