Add Color to Black and White Photos

Coloriage adds colors to B&W photos. It's also helpful for replacing colors in color photos.

The functionality of the program depends on the license type. During the test period you can try all options and choose the license you like.

Coloriage only has support for RGB color mode. When working with grayscale images, it is necessary to convert it to RGB before calling the plug-in. A grayscale image - black and white - contains no color information, so the colorization result will not be applied. The standalone version converts a grayscale image to RGB automatically and saves the result in RGB.

If your image is in CMYK or Lab modes, they will be converted to RGB automatically in both the plug-in and standalone versions. In the plug-in version, the result will be returned to its original color mode. The standalone version always saves the result in RGB 8-bit.

Every time you start the unregistered version you can choose between functionality types to test: Home (either the plugin or the standalone edition), Home Deluxe (plugin+standalone) or Business (plugin+standalone).
