For the first time in history, it was possible to capture a scene in such exquisite detail, except for one important feature: color. When photography was first invented in 1839, it was greeted with an amazing sense of wonder. Color photography followed a long and difficult quest with many wrong turns and dead-ends along the way. But first-to appreciate how far we’ve come-let’s take a look back at where color photography began. Here, we’ll discuss some of the exciting ways you can breathe color into monochromatic images. Today, we can even undo the limitations of the past by colorizing old black-and-white photos with artificial intelligence. History serves as a reminder that color photography has come a long way since its inception. With one tap or click of a button, we’re able to capture wonderful, full-color photos with little regard for how color photography came to be.
These days, it’s easy to take color photography for granted. Look back on the history and development of color photography-and forward to colorizing old black-and-white photos with just a few clicks.
