My Heritage, a premier family history site, recently began offering "colorization" of old black and white photos. Originally you could try out the service but you would have to buy a subscription to their services to have unlimited access. With the Corona Virus keeping many of us cooped up at home My Heritage is giving unlimited use of their new "colorization" technique to everyone throughout the next month. It does make the folks in the photo come alive and it does a good job. The only downfall for myself and many of my Norwegian Ancestry (and my one true redhead cousin on my Swedish side, Aunt Betty) is that is doesn't really recognize those of us blessed (or cursed) with the flaming red-orange locks!
Here are some samples.What do you think? Try it out? It's free, it's fun, and you can't beat that!
