The greatest software of this kind - Pure Magic !!!

I have a lot of old B&W pictures taken with my first 35-mm camera back

in the sixties that I like to colorize, because the pictures seem to come alive.

I used to colorize in Photoshop Elements using several layers (one for each color)

and it worked fine, but it took a lot of time and was tiresome to paint the colors

inside the different areas of the photo. It could take hours to colorize a picture.

That is - until I tried AKVIS Coloriage. The program (plugin) is so smart that you

only have to mark inside an area (i.e. face or clothes) the color you want, and

in some mysterious way AKVIS Coloriage manages to find the areas and fill

them with the specified color exact to the area-border. It's like PURE MAGIC,

and colorizing a whole picture only takes a few minutes with a little practice.
