Here's a very-detailed colorized vintage image I had a lot of fun creating. This is a Chinese Grocery Store and Lunch Counter in Western Canada. I colorized this as part of the year-long exhibit, "Chop Suey On The Prairies" at the Royal Alberta Museum in Edmonton, AB Canada. The original B&W photo was taken in 1947.
For this colorization, I researched every product's 1947 Canadian packaging for the correct colors. And you thought photo colorizing was just "slap some colors onto a picture and you're done".
Candidly speaking, with AI, that's about ALL you'll get, which is Reason #47 why I don't use AI, lol. 😎
