I barely know what I'm doing, but here's my first attempt at colorizing, using GIMP (also for the first time). Took me about 25 minutes while reading through and following a tutorial. The result is exciting but I don't have time for this, haha. Is there an editor than can use machine learning to do this better, or at least automatically? There must be... right?
Anyway, original on the left. Still gotta clean up the red left over in the transparent portions of the picture. I'm also now looking for the stylus that came with my Surface Pro so I can do better with the lines. But this is 400% zoom, my sloppiness is magnified.
Now that I've had dinner my mind is working better. I suppose I could use the lasso tool in combination with layers (somehow) to select areas that I want to exclude from my "colorization layer" and avoid having to un-colorize those areas by hand later. I think I'm getting it now, haha.
