Recolor a grayscale image automatically
Feed a grayscale scan, drawing or photo and get an automatically colored version in seconds — no manual painting.
Hand-coloring a grayscale image means masking every region and choosing every hue — slow, skilled work even for one picture.
The Colorize tool automates the whole thing: it segments the image, infers sensible colors per region, and produces a finished colored version in seconds.
Use it on scanned documents, line work and old photographs whenever you want color without the manual labor.
