1/ Almost two years ago I worried I was a bit foolish that I was pursuing state of the art image colorization that people would pay for. After all, Google already had announced that they were working on it. How could I compete with that?
2/ Well I also had enough experience in software to know that a lot of true innovation and advances simply require smart choices and dedication to the problem. More controversially- I'm strongly of the opinion that software by large groups is hampered by group think.
3/ So here we are in the present, and we're still ahead of the game. I'm quite surprised to be honest, even with the beliefs going into this of the power of individual dedication. I'm not saying this to brag but I just want to share what I think will be helpful for others.
Solid work, Jason!
Great to see the evolution of your idea! From observing how others use it as part of their restoration 'toolkit'... Somebody like @irelandincolour seem to have been able to turbo-charge their work with just the right blend of various components including @DeOldify
You might also just care that much more about it, meaning you’re motivated to push through some of the impossible barriers. Colorization isn’t essential to google’s business
Oh yeah I definitely think that's a big part of it. I just want to convey the idea that you shouldn't give up on something like this just because a bigger, more intimidating player is in the picture. There's a lot of advantages to being a dedicated individual.
This is very helpful to others. Easy to get put off of ideas that seem unreachable at the start. Thanks!
Your next move in competing with Google is to kill your product off at short notice even though it's making money and people seem to like it.
Funny and sad!
I love your algorithm and use it in @MyHeritage
