Color-Diffusion: using diffusion models to colorize black and white images
Colourising old photographs is the banal apotheosis application of diffusion AI.It's the pinnacle of the whole thing: "imagine it for me in a way that conforms to my contemporary expectations".If you're going to colourise images, have the decency to do it by hand. If possible on a print with brushes.Edit: didn't think this would be popular. Maybe it's the historical photography nerd in me, but colourising images without effort and thought is like smashing vintage glass windows for the fun of it: cultural vandalism.
