ABSTRACT:
A system is disclosed in which individual black & white frames from film (100) are colorized by combination with color film (120) generated by computer (110) assisted techniques. Color information is processed, for example, by filtering, cross-dissolving or interpolation. The technique is also applicable to modifying the color of black & white portions of full color film (340) to repair damaged or degraded frames or to create special effects.
