PhotosRevive 2.1.8 for MacOS

General Overview

PhotosRevive is a third-party (originally only available on macOS, but a Windows version appeared in 2020) photograph-colorizing program, based on artificial intelligence (AI) technology. PhotosRevive allows bringing in life the historical or personal black-and-white images by adding the realistic, believable colors with minimal effort. The program goes through the content of the photograph- landscapes, skin, clothes, and other objects- through the use of trained algorithms to apply the right colors, choosing to mimic the feeling of fresh color and a sense of reality in the old memory.
Literally, the procedure is simple: a user uploads a picture, and the artificial intelligence converts it to color near-immediately, leaving some room and possibilities to make certain changes and tweaks in case someone thinks that the produced result needs to be somehow altered. Unlike manual colorization that requires expertise and a lot of time to work on in programs such as Photoshop, PhotosRevive is a software that makes the task of colorizing photographs easy and accessible to more people interested in genealogy, history and family archiving. Using AI on this unique creative exercise, makes it a convenient tool but also a very integrative one to help in the preservation and enrichment of historical pictures in a way that is appealing to the eye.
