Bringing black and white photos to life using Colourise.sg

It by no means guarantees that the colourised image is an accurate representation of the actual snapshot in time.Another note: colourisation is a field of active research and our model is by no means perfect — it works well on some images but not others.If you have old black and white photos and would like to colourise them, you can do so here: Colourise.sg. A major contributing factor to poor colourisation of old Singaporean photos could be the fact that the old Singaporean black and white images are too different from the training dataset. In order to create an appropriately colourised photo, an experienced human colourist has to do two tasks:
(1) do significant research on the historical, geographic, and cultural context of the photo in order to derive appropriate colours, and
(2) colour the black and white image using software tools like Photoshop.
