Someone on Facebook has just shared some amazing “colourised” photos from World War I. What’s wrong with the word coloured?
-
-
Why not? Colourised is a word that means to add colour to something...
-
Yep, so does coloured and it was there first and contains two fewer letters.
-
Coloured means to have coloured, or as the past action of colouring. Colourised is the process of colouring.
-
No, colouring is the process of colouring.
-
Not in film, it's colourisation.
-
Name me a single instance of a sentence where the word colouring couldn't be used instead of colourising.
-
It couldn't, but it's a process. Not quite the same as saying photoshopped for image manipulation (as that's a product), but it's used as a term for a technical process
