Black & White Colorization
Colorize after repair, not before
Nostalgia treats colorization as a follow-up step. Black and white photos get repaired first, then color is added only when the source supports believable skin, clothing, and lighting.
What makes it safer
Fragile faces, weak scans, and uncertain tones can stay restored monochrome when color confidence is low.
When to use it
Portraits, family gatherings, and well-captured black and white prints that already look stable after repair.
Try careful color on one black and white photo
Repair the photo first, compare the result, then add color only if it still feels true to the original.
