Received this in my Download Squad RSS feed this morning. Norwegian developer Haakon Bertheussen has implemented an algorithm that colorises black and white photos in his own program called Recolored. The Windows beta is available to play with for free.
I downloaded and tested it with a desaturated photo and the results were amazing – on the first try! With practice I think this tool has real potential! My grandparents had a collection of old sepia toned photos that I have scanned and I can’t wait to try this out on them.

That’s incredible, not something I would have initially thought possible! It’ll be very interesting for all the old war-time photos that seem like they’re from another world, let alone time… (yeah, I’m interested in it all!). Thanks David!
