MyHeritage further enhances its photo colorisation tool

From MyHeritage (www.myheritage.com):

We are happy to announce the release of a new colorization model for MyHeritage In Color™, which produces even better results when colorizing black and white photos!

MyHeritage In Color™ is based on deep-learning technology licensed by MyHeritage exclusively from DeOldify —the super talented team of Jason Antic and Dana Kelley, following pioneering work by our team member Maor Cohen. The feature quickly became a viral sensation, with more than 16 million photos colorized since its release. Jason and Dana have been hard at work to improve colorization even further, as they are, in their own words, obsessively pursuing the perfection of colorization using deep learning. The new colorization model is the fruit of their continued efforts, and going forward, we will use the new model as the default option when you colorize your photos.

The new model provides better results for most photos, but in some cases the two older models may provide superior results. In many cases, the differences are so minor that most people won’t be able to tell the difference. If you colorize a photo and are not pleased with the result or want to seek perfection, you can toggle between the three different colorization models in the settings to see which one produces optimal results for your photo.

Any photos that you’ve already colorized already will not be automatically modified. If you wish to apply the new model to a photo you have colorized previously, which is recommended only if you were not pleased with the initial results, visit the photo page on MyHeritage and adjust the colorization settings.
