Black and white photos have an undeniable charm, which is why even modern-day photographs like to capture monochromatic images. However, sometimes the opposite is true and you may want to bring color to a black and white image or swap between existing colors. The technology that lets us recolor images hasn’t been around for that long and tools capable of achieving great results are still pretty rare, especially since not all tools are powered by AI just yet.

(Anca Roman, Softpedia, 6/2019)

Das Plug-in Coloriage für alle gängigen Grafikprogramme haucht grauen Bildern wieder Farbe ein.

Coloriage schafft, was üblichweise nur durch umständliche Farbton-Änderungen möglich ist: Im Handumdrehen lässt es alte Schwarz/Weiß-Bilder in realistischer Farbenpracht erscheinen. Aber damit nicht genug; auch bei Farbfotos kann es Farben ersetzen und somit Popart ähnliche Bilder kreieren.

Alles was Sie tun müssen ist, mit dem Pinsel den Bereich des Bildes zu umranden, den Sie kolorieren möchten. Vorgefertigte Farbsätze wie Haut, Himmel und Haare helfen bei der richtigen Farbwahl.

AKVIS Coloriage V.10.5

(Michael Kleper, The Kleper Report in Digital Publishing, MMXVII, No. 262 v.21.1)

AKVIS Coloriage V.10.5, available as both a plug-in for image editing program, and as a standalone app, enabled fast and easy colorization of black-and-white photos, and replacement of colors in full-color photos.

The program provides a spectrum of colors gradations categorized by picture elements, such as People, Grass, Leaves, Wood, Stones, Sky, Clouds, Water, Metals, Ground, and Fabric. The user simply selects an appropriate category and draws on the image with the Pencil tool to indicate where the color will be applied. The user need not paint with any accuracy at all, merely drawing lines within the area that will contain the color. Clicking the Run button applies the colors precisely within the targeted areas, respecting orders and retaining grayscale tones.

 

AKVIS Coloriage 10.5

(Michael Shaw, MaUsE DoubleClick, 1/2017)

Coloriage is comparatively easy to use, once you understand the basics of the program. The trial download includes the option of a PDF manual that is very helpful in getting you started. <...>

With AKVIS Coloriage the user can easily and quickly match and manipulate the colors of an image: from colorizing old black and white photos from your scanned images from the old family albums to replacing colors in your color photos. This all sounds very easy and you may say that you can do all of that with Adobe Photoshop but AKVIS Coloriage is designed to be easier and faster and achieve better results in less time.

 

AKVIS Coloriage 8.0

(Kevin Poulter, AppleUsers, 7/2012)

Certainly the software does try to adapt to the selected texture and tone - for example skin tones, as supplied in their menu, however unless there is a very defined edge between colours, then it is not auto-fill. In this photograph of Elvis, I found it was far preferable to paint a very accurate border. Considering auto-fill is a big ask on soft edges, it was not unreasonable to require colouring the edges.

Like most plug-ins, the result can be alternatively achieved manually in Photoshop or Elements, however the plug-in makes it easier, quicker and better...

My verdict is 8 out of 10—very useful if you regularly like to colourise.

Coloriage

(Peter Marshall, About Photography, 05/2005)

From the earliest years of photography, photographers have added colour by hand to photographic images, starting with daguerreotypes. Some of the results from the early years are exquisite. Even when colour photography became more widely available, starting from the early years of the twentieth century with processes such as Autochrome, and around the 1930-50s with modern colour processes, some photographers still preferred to add colours by hand...
