Colorize Is Now Free For Windows Phones

Colorize was one of the first apps to do colorizing (you know where it turns it black and white but keeps some things in color) and was initially demoed by Microsoft. Well now it’s free:

Get creative. Make your pictures unique by colorizing them! Convert an image to black and white and then bring back a pop of color wherever you choose by brushing or flooding the color back on with your fingertip. You can zoom in and rotate the image and change only the smallest details or you can enlarge the brush size and swipe across it sloppily. Your creation is sure to be unique and it’s super easy to do. You can grab an image from the Picture hub by simply viewing it and selecting the colorize option from the extras menu or you can start in the app and take a new picture or find an existing one. You can start your work and leave it half done by saving it as a project and when you get back to it, you just continue. When finished, you simply save your new creation as an image and you’ll find it back in your Picture hub. Don’t forget to email or post it for others to enjoy.
