What is Digg?135 Comments
- meekar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Awesome, too bad it's Windows only.
- brettotte1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3i've played with it over an hour to update an old photo of my bro & I as kids that has since turned red. it's an 8.5" x 11" photo & you can see the lines the frame has left on it from aging. here's what i have so far with only using my lappy touchpad in bed & not messing much with the skin colors:

Direct Download: http://www.recolored.com.nyud.net:8090/sa/RecoloredBeta050.zip - cube101, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I recalled the slashdot article, as ssh rdp did, at http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/03/14/1753246&tid=152&tid=126 but this program seems to make use of those algorithms. Def. a good digg.

Tool I've ever seen! - generalleoff, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1http://www.legendfilms.net
Also this site. Same company but dealing in diffrent kinds of films. Off Color tends to deal with old copyright expired B movies. - bigwang, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Dugg.
Brettotte, icefreez good work. - knellotron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Hey Linux people: This runs quite well under Wine.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I think this would be better suited as a photoshop plugin and I'd like to see it ported to mac.
- fli7e, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Just a heads up to everyone:
The algorithm takes a LONG time to execute on larger images. The bigger the dimensions of the image, the longer you are going to have to sit and wait, but be assured it works.
Should take mere seconds on 320x240 images, but on 1600x1200 it could take many, many minutes.
Also, this will max out your CPU, so if you are using a laptop plug it in. - defjuan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1wow, i never realized how hot grace kelly is
- Icefreez, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This is a very fun program to work with. If you are creative enough you can make some very interesting color tweaks :D

Same algorithms I guess. Anyway the have a very similar UI. - count_z, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Actually, it really does look like the "author" of recoloured just took Anat Levin's code and built a UI for it.
Definately not cool, especially there is no mention of the orginal author (and her work is copyrighted). - leboff, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0adds suspicion to these photos:

Can anyone take a stab at it thats figured it out? My Grandparents 50th anniversary is comin gup and I think this would be a great thing to show them. - animefx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i can't figure out how to use this... i try to make lines and it ends up coloring the entire picture one color.
i want to colorize some manga using this program.
maybe someone should make some tutorials. i've used photoshop for years, but this is certainly different. - godmode, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0senzafine: use right to set white boundaries
- nonreal, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Here is what I did: http://www.nonreal.ro/digg/Result5.jpg
- stokestack, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Very cool wheres the Mac version"
Umm, lost in the choice of Objective-C as the official UI toolkit's language?
It's annoying when your favorite platform isn't supported, but people barely have time to live their lives, let alone write free software AND learn what is essentially an obscure single-platform dialect that serves only three percent of the market.
That said, it'd be cool if the guy released the source. - nonreal, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I will give it a shot with your picture. but don't expect too much.
- brettotte1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This took me 3 hours as a Xmas gift for my folks of my bro & I. Before, During, & After: http://tinyurl.com/76rmv
Tips are to make the Zoom your friend.
Eyes are difficult & needs zooming & diff colors.
Skin is also difficult.
Get as close as you can to edges or there may be blurring/bleeding.
Revise, revise, revise! This took about 15 diff iterations. - Id4ever, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Hi, I'm the author of the software mentioned in this "digg". It's nice to see that so many enjoyed playing with it. I won't deny that making good colorizations takes a bit of practice even with Recolored, but once you've done it a few times it becomes pretty easy. Here are two I colorized recently, both in less than 20 minutes. I think the NASA image turned out pretty well at least.

- Techy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0very cool.
- Machine, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Nice effort, but as a photographer I'd rather use Photoshop. It gives me a great deal more control over the image. I don't think faster and easier really means better results. It might be of some value as a plug-in though.
- Jafar00, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Another reminder to the linux people and to the credit of the author. This runs perfectly under wine! Kudos! :D
- schrags, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Man it actually works pretty dang well, lol.

It might be a good ide to convert the photo to black and white before trying to colorize. - beelz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Now if it was a photoshop plug-in that would be even better still digg
- count_z, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Definately cool, but did he just build a UI for this: http://www.cs.huji.ac.il/~yweiss/Colorization/index.html that doesn't use MathLab? The authors for the orginal colorization software from which Recolored is derive provide the complete source code.
Or
Is this a new implementation of their algorithm? - hammerattack, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0What I like is the the colorized photo has the same dynamic range as the original black and white. In short, it looks like a colorphoto reflecting the technology of the era. However, colorization purists might prefer an algorithm that increases saturation and dynamic range, though doing so means adding information to the picture which isn't already there.
- michaelburns, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0WOW WOW WOW! This is AMAZING
- thanquol, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Good job!
- senzafine, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I can't seem to have it notice boundaries. When I try to color a region it just colors the entire photo.
Dugg because I'm sure I'm doing something dumb...but this is way cool. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0damn did you see how much ram and cpu cucles it takes to do all that colering. I just dl it and i can't stop trying to color b/w pics now.
- piesforyou, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0hey, awesome number of diggs. Shows 4444 even after I dugg it ;)
great proggy too
digg++ - andreizilla, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I can dig,
but why isn't Syndicate Plus on there? - thekak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"I ask that you don't distribute my software outside here, and please don't use it for commercial purposes"
Oh well I guess... - seattle98104, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0now if he would compile this bad boy for other os's. this is alot faster than using ye olde photoshop.
nice. - spacebar14, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0***** awesome!! +digg!
- Locker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yes. That program is AWESOME! For real... It's simple and results on excelent works.
- toasterwaffle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0new layer, draw solid colour over area, adjust occupacy...
- firelion, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Animefx:
you need to draw alot of colored lines to set boundaries for the program. one or 2 lines wont do it. a complex image takes alot of different colored lines to get a recolored version done right. - siralphred, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0awesome, needs a little improvement thought, was freezing at times.
- ImageDash, on 12/01/2008, -0/+0Wow, great!
http://www.imagedash.com - tigerpaper, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0gutspiller you're a retard...
wow, I really wish this worked on osx. It'd make a nice christmas present for my grandparents to colorize their photo albums for them. Photoshop is too time consuming. - theCaptain, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Liking this!
