About Colorize Image
Colorizing here means tinting a picture with a single color. The tool measures the brightness of each pixel with the standard 0.299, 0.587, 0.114 luma weights, multiplies your chosen color by that brightness, and blends the result over the original by the strength you set. At full strength the image becomes shades of one color. It does not add realistic colors to black and white photos.

Questions about Colorize Image
Can this tool colorize an old black and white photo?
Not in the sense of restoring natural colors. It applies one tint across the whole picture, so skin, sky, and grass all take the same hue. Realistic colorization needs a trained model or manual painting.
