Frequently Asked Questions
- Will the colors be historically accurate?
- Best-guess accurate. AI infers plausible color from skin tone, hair, clothing material, and scene context — but it can't know the actual color of an unknown subject's coat. For genealogy / family archive use it's a great approximation; for historical research, keep the original B&W alongside.
