What does the existence of a color photograph of my grandmother as an old woman have to do with my desire to colorize a grayscale photo of her as a child? Or colorize the photos of her wedding?

It's a very strange argument to make: there exist some photos therefore other photos may not be colorized!

Did you colorize grayscale photos of your grandmothers wedding?

Seeing that a "neat tool" exists and using that "neat tool" are two diffrent things. Google Glass was neat, too.

  • Is there a particular reason you resent what other people enjoy researching and spending time on, enough so to post all this?

  • I have not yet, because my uncle hasn't scanned those photos yet. I have colorized the pictures of my grandmother as a child, and some previously unmentioned ones of the farm my grandfather grew up on. I've also colorized some photos of ancestors that no one alive this century has ever met.

    Just because you don't want to use a tool, it doesn't mean others also won't.
