Colour & Greyscale blending

Post by leahcimi »

I have an greyscale image that has been colorized by an on line AI system. The colours are good but the converted image was small so I resized it to match that of the original greyscale version; the result is that it now looks a bit soft so I want to combine/blend it with the original greyscale version to put back some sharpness.
What is the best way to combine/blend the two to get a sharper colour image?

The greyscale image should be in 16 million colors (RGB 8bit).
Place the colorized image above the greyscale image.
Change the layer's blend mode to Color.

Just curious: what online AI system did you use? MyHeritage?
