Object Color Changer for Photos

In black paint the photo stores almost no surface color — only reflections of the sky, trees and highlights. When such a surface is strongly lightened, the reflections show through, and the car reads as silver metallic. Matte items — fabric, leather, plastic — lighten more evenly. If the hue matters more than exact brightness, turn on “Keep photo brightness”: then only the hue changes.

Turn on “Main color only”: the tool will keep everything whose color differs from the spot you tapped. If the wheels are the same color as the body — say, silver wheels on a white car — click “Remove” and tap the wheel, or erase it with the brush.

Click “Smaller”: the neural network sees several selection options — from a pocket to the whole figure — and the “Smaller” and “Larger” buttons switch between them. It works the other way too: if only a sleeve got selected, “Larger” takes the whole jacket.

Type the code into the HEX field, for example #1F2A44, or pick the color with the eyedropper from another shot. The hue goes onto the lit part of the object: in shadows and folds it is darker, as with real fabric, so compare the color on the light side of the item.

Yes. Select the object in the black-and-white shot, click “Take color from another photo” and tap the same kind of object in the color reference — for example, a military tunic or a tank. The tool takes a scale of shades from shadow to light and keeps the film’s light and shade. To colorize the whole shot with a neural network, use Photo Colorizer.

Yes: selection and preview run on a reduced copy, and when you download, the same recoloring is applied to the photo at its original size, strip by strip. JPG and WebP are saved at the chosen quality, PNG losslessly.
