MyHeritage Releases Colour Restoration Feature

Do you have faded colour photos from the 1950’s through the 1990’s? The chemistry of printed photos stored in albums did not withstand the test of time and caused the colours to fade or turn yellow. 

There's an app for that from MyHeritage. MyHeritage In Colour™ is a freemium feature. Users can restore the colours in 10 photos for free, after which continued use requires a subscription.


I tried it with a very faded photo. There was some enhancement of colours but it was likely too far gone — the whole thing had a green cast.

I've found with their both their B&W and colour enhancer that if you do some basic corrections before you submit your photo, you sometimes get better results. If you want me to give that a try, send me the files and I'll adjust the "green tinge" to see if it can be better restored afterwards. I won't promise to get it done, though til after Saturday.
