<i>&quot;I do colorizations on Reddit. How about adapting this to assist manual colorizers? We&#x27;d mask out each color region by hand, so the neural net wouldn&#x27;t have to decide what&#x27;s what. We&#x27;d tell it, &quot;this region is skin, this is a brown overcoat, this is a gold candlestick - please colorize them appropriately.&quot;</i><p>That&#x27;s a smart idea. Master painters used to do this. Do the broad outlines, choose the colour and style then unleash the underlings (painters in training) to do the rest.
