“A Winter Wonderland in Color: Snow Scenes of Charleston” Opens November 1st at Charleston Museum

For years, photograph colorization was used mainly by high tech production companies. Recently however, computer programmers have created colorization operating systems that use Artificial Intelligence. Modeled after the human brain, the AI software can recognize objects in a photograph and determine their likely colors. Although, it can still be time consuming and rather tricky, colorizing a historical photograph is now more accessible to everyday users. Visitors are invited to enjoy this collection from the Museum’s Archives through a new lens of colorization.
