"I do colorizations on Reddit. How about adapting this to assist manual colorizers? We'd mask out each color region by hand, so the neural net wouldn't have to decide what's what. We'd tell it, "this region is skin, this is a brown overcoat, this is a gold candlestick - please colorize them appropriately."
That's a smart idea. Master painters used to do this. Do the broad outlines, choose the colour and style then unleash the underlings (painters in training) to do the rest.
