Colorizing Photos and Slideshows

We collected and colorized some of the first photographed celebrities in history to create this dotphoto show.  Among others, these include probably the first person born to be photographed, sixth president John Quincy Adams, a 16-year-old Emily Dickinson, a survivor of the Revolutionary War, Harriet Tubman, the Wright Brothers, and more.

Learn more below on how to colorize your older images in one click. The ideal size for a dotphoto slide? 1350 pixels wide by 900 pixels tall.

Other websites we like: Photomyne Colorize App

The Photomyne web app colorizes black and white photos in one step. Could you do a better job if you were an artist and spent an hour on each image? Maybe, but this colorizes in a single step. We used it for the celebrity slideshow and for this photo taken of a nurse in the 1940s. You can upload your black-and-white photos to Photomyne directly from dotphoto.
