   I made a new AI colorizer▲472

   Hi HN, I’m Emil, the maker behind Palette. I’ve been tinkering with AI and colorization for about five years. This is my latest colorization model. It’s a text-based AI colorizer, so you can edit the colorizations with natural language. To make it easier to use, I also automatically create captions and generate filters. Let me know what you think. You can see some of my results on my reddit page: https://www.reddit.com/user/emilwallner/?sort=top

   hue.tools – open-source toolbox for colors▲481

   hue.tools was created after spending way to much time trying to find the right tools when working with colors. It's an attempt to create a simple but useful toolbox for common color related tasks and problems. While it's in no way perfect or provides the tools for every use case, it has served me well in the last few months and I hope it will be useful for some of you as well.
