Bored Panda (with a whopping 120M monthly readers) reached out to us earlier this week, curious about our photo colorization work (https://www.photofixrestore.com/colorizing-photos.html) for a story they were doing (https://www.boredpanda.com/colorized-black-and-white.../). These are some extracts of the published interview which appeared this morning. We are happy they reached out to us to get an expert’s view on how colorization works, and why people are so excited about it.

Old photos are the closest thing we have to a time machine. Looking at an old photo is like peeking through a small hole in the dark blanket of time. Colorizing an old photo makes that experience even more real.

Adding color brings the people and the surrounding items back to life with an immediacy and an impact that can be truly stunning. Colorizing old photos really is a way to make them come alive. You feel like you might have known them.

Sometimes a photo is not that bad - it just needs a little help...

A lot of our work here at PhotoFixRestore is working on really tough images: water damage; photos torn into pieces; radical color shifts into magenta; fading so bad that features have disappeared...

Here's a lovely photo tradition. All of Willi Klumper's six daughters wore a blue velvet dress made by Willi's grandmother on her first birthday when they had a photo taken. The tradition continues to this day and the dress has now been worn by 14 girls in the family!

If you saw a certain blue baby dress with white lace trim, you would admire the stitching, the perfect pattern, the sleeves fashioned just so. But you would miss the magic, the meaning, the history…
