I’m not an expert in that matter, but an amateur. I think it’s unfair to keep images from the past in black and white and apps like CODIJY give us the opportunity to revive our ancestry in color.
Luiz is one of the most active, live-long members of CODIJY community. Since 2016 he has colorized and shared thousands of colorized photos of vehicles, streets, movie stars and heart-pounding live scenes.

All of us, pros and hobbyists alike, who are just “having fun with colour” form a kind of informal yet quite impactful project of popularizing and restoring the past, making the history snapshots available in colour and making those small historic details, otherwise overlooked, noticeable to the large audience of fans, helping them remember and understand not only the local but the world history and, more importantly, the human side of it.
Since 2014, CODIJY has inspired hundreds of thousands of colorists to engage with this impactful digital art. What makes our hearts beat faster?
From one to several hours depending on your knowledge and image complexity.

CODIJY software requires:
Windows 7 or later | Mac OS 10.13 or higher

This is quickly becoming my "go to" group when I visit Facebook not only to see what others are turning out for work but to have a simple chat and talk with others that share an interest in coloring.
