Black and white photos are a window that allows us to look into the time before color photography was invented. However, with new technologies that use advanced monochromatic tools, as well as hue and saturation detectors to find the real colors hiding in the shades of grey, we can bring color to those old photos. The pictures you see before you are the originals that were taken many years ago, but click on them and you will see them come to life in full color. Click on each picture to change it into color |
