What does the existence of a color photograph of my grandmother as an old woman have to do with my desire to colorize a grayscale photo of her as a child? Or colorize the photos of her wedding?

It's a very strange argument to make: there exist some photos therefore other photos may not be colorized!

Did you colorize grayscale photos of your grandmothers wedding?

Seeing that a "neat tool" exists and using that "neat tool" are two diffrent things. Google Glass was neat, too.

I have not yet, because my uncle hasn't scanned those photos yet. I have colorized the pictures of my grandmother as a child, and some previously unmentioned ones of the farm my grandfather grew up on. I've also colorized some photos of ancestors that no one alive this century has ever met.

Just because you don't want to use a tool, it doesn't mean others also won't.

Is there a particular reason you resent what other people enjoy researching and spending time on, enough so to post all this?

I am just saying that the colorization was needed in 1995, when 90% of people had black-and-white childhood photos.

But today, only 1% of people has black-and-white childhood photos. I just makes me want to argue when people pretend that it is still needed as much as in 1995 :D

I was also arguing with my friends about buying laptops with an optical drive ten years ago :D
