colorizing
Dyeing old films
Colorizing is adding color to black-and-white images, typically photographs or films.
The practice became controversial when classic movies were colorized for television broadcast, with critics arguing it compromised the original artistic vision: They're colorizing Casablanca.
Digital tools have made colorizing historical photos increasingly common.
