What does the AI Colorize effect change?

AI Colorize applies a localized appearance change with semantic masks and source-aware blending, keeping untreated regions consistent with the uploaded photograph. The strength control determines how much of that treatment replaces the unedited appearance.

Which photos work best with AI Colorize?

Choose AI Colorize for targeted edits that are difficult to mask by hand, portrait and product cleanup, or creative identity-preserving transformations when the source has clear detail and balanced exposure. Start with a lighter setting if it contains ambiguous low-resolution subjects, hidden facial features, or requests that require inventing exact factual details not present in the source.

About the AI Colorize effect
