  • MyHeritage in Color

    I've just got round to testing out this new feature.

    https://blog.myheritage.com/2020/02/...tage-in-color/ - instructions.

    5 days ago we released an amazing feature, MyHeritage In Color™, which automatically colorizes black and white photos with breathtaking results. We are


    MyHeritage In Color™ uses the world's best deep learning technology to colorize black and white photos, and to restore the colors in faded photos originally taken in color. The results are exceptional and bring new life to cherished family photos


    Caroline O'Neill’s heritage in color! - an often scanned copy of a very faded sepia picture (from 1890).

      Very possibly. I've been very busy doing other stuff on the site, hence only just having time to test it out, and cannot hope to remember every post /thread posted.

      But then I've been reading about it all over the internet and receiving emails from MyHeritage here and privately too so who knows.

            Now that is not good. A game changer for many I think.

              That applies for all the site - this is the full sentence from the Terms:

              To interpret it in context you'd need to read all the Ts and Cs.

                I know ancestry reserve the right to any tree uploaded but do they do the same for photos, uploaded docs etc? I don’t have anything there at all except trees so I have never read the relevant T&Cs.

                  Much the same:

                  Ownership of Personal Information, Additional User Information and User Provided Content: You own your Personal Information, Additional User Information, and User Provided Content, but we need certain rights from you to use that information and content. By using the Services, you grant us the right to collect, host, transfer, process, analyze, communicate and store your Personal Information (including your Genetic Information) and Additional User Information in order to (a) provide the Services to you and other users, (b) for the purposes described in these Terms and our Privacy Statement, (c) to help our Users discover more about their family histories, and (d) for any other purpose to which you expressly agree, such as sharing with others. Also, by submitting User Provided Content through any of the Services, you grant Ancestry a sublicensable, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, publish, distribute, provide access to, create derivative works of, and otherwise use such User Provided Content to the extent and in the form or context we deem appropriate on or through any media or medium and with any technology or devices now known or hereafter developed or discovered. This includes the right for Ancestry to copy, display, and index your User Provided Content. Ancestry will own the indexes it creates. We will also have the right to continue to use your User Provided Content, even if you stop using the Services, but only as necessary for us to provide and improve the Services.

                  But again it needs reading in context:

                    Apologies to all, I did not intend for my reply to become contentious, just helpful.

                    I have not tried the Myheritage option, just had a look to see what is involved.

                    Trying to help again, if anybody wants to achieve the same result, using the same software program but from the original producers of the program Deoldify, this link will take you there. There does not seem to be any T&Cs or any restrictions on the amount of conversions mentioned (but please check these observations).

                    Colorize black and white images or videos using the image colorizer. Add color to old family photos and historic images, or bring an old film back to life with colorization. This image colorization API is a deep learning model that has been trained on pairs of color images with their grayscale counterpart. After hours of training, the models learns how to add color back to black and white images.


                    Just a thought .....

                    PS I haven't looked into it at all, but I am also seeing mentions of another program that does the 'opposite' and transforms 'young face' photos into 'old face' photos called Oldify.

                      I feel that most of the sites now are more interested in harvesting information they can gather to sell/share elsewhere than ever before. I've pulled most of my tree information off the big sites but I've lost control of everything I put online previously, some of my early tree stuff is accurate but light on detail, it's all appeared in wikitree and been severely mangled in the process. Flickriver is still throwing up some of my flickr photostream of me as a baby or old work pictures when searching a surname from my tree. The pictures do not have names attached to them or common tags yet they come up in results and have started to appear in forums and even facebook groups.

                      The irony is I have my TP set to allow google to search but it never comes up in results when looking for names or images. I'm almost at the point where any site that asks for a registration is an automatic no go area now as the content I add seems to appear everywhere else but never creates any contacts.

                        It does no harm to remind us all of what we have signed/agreed to and to check up in case the goalposts have been moved.

                        What I really want know is, is there a version for Youngify? Will it make me young again?

                            This is exactly why I don't use the likes of FMP or Ancestry to host my tree. They're great for research, but all findings are offline on my PC. I use Family Historian to hold the data and generate my own website, from which I get a new contact every month or so. I update it about once a year. Folk can steal the info if they wish but they have to re-type it all, and my sources aren't online...I only give those to people who get in touch. If you're willing to learn how to build your own site then it's the way to go!
                            Kind regards,

                              All that I have on line I am not so bothered about ownership. But what I am finding increasingly annoying that so many things you now have to add on line and they host it. I have a PC and am more than happy to download and pay for software and run locally. But there is less and less opportunity for this, even family tree software wants you to put on the cloud.

                              Photo colouring looks like it is good fun

                                Edging off the topic a bit but that's interesting. I've done quite a bit on my half siblings tree recently and a lot of the work centres around their grandmother who died a couple of years before the oldest was born. There is a great collection of images but split across the family. I have some on Tribal Pages and they have invites as some of the data I have kept private. Whilst TP allows me to show facts and events quite well it's not so good on the image handling, it's a bit messy and clunky. I've wondered about alternatives that they can view that are less "boxes with names" type format as almost everyone beyond their mother is a name they have never heard of (5 generations worth).

                                  Maybe something like Memory Web mentioned on this thread? Not cheap but an interesting idea. That could be linked to TP. Can you add hyperlinks from people to another picture hosting site? I've not used TP for ages.

                                  https://www.familytreeforum.com/show...odcasts-anyone (the link would be useful :o)

                                  https://www.memoryweb.me/for-genealogy/organizing


                                  Or a free blog/wordpress site to host the picture and link back to the TP tree.

                                  Host your own tree using The Next Generation of Genealogy? - that can be collaborative and private.
