The whole process may need to be repeated hundreds of times over to finish a single photograph...even then,
results often leave much to be desired, and rarely resemble
'real life colours' that we are used to seeing in colour photographs Even with all
professional care and sophistication, it is common to get results depicting improper colour matches, over saturated colours, dull/ faded colours, or over-emphasized/ blurred edges.
The BlackMagic Difference
BlackMagic resolves all of
above problems associated with colourizing black & white photos, and more. The system uses state-of-the-art Neural Net algorithms to provide dynamic parameterization. This means that
user is not required to pick specific colour hues or
associated values/ parameters - she/ he works by simply identifying
'type of object' to be coloured. BlackMagic then automatically performs
needed calculations to continuously vary all required parameters, based on
content of
photograph/ region being colourized - all done in
background transparent to
user. This process ensures consistent as well as optimal selection of hue, brightness, saturation, opacity, etc. for colourizing any object/ region of
image, without
guess work that would otherwise have been required.
BlackMagic provides several tools, to most expeditiously apply RealLifeColour palettes to a monochromatic image. It is available in several versions, to suit every budget and need.
