Simply put, the mission of this project is to colorize and restore old images. I'll get into the details in a bit, but first let's get to the pictures! BTW – most of these source images originally came from the r/TheWayWeWere subreddit, so credit to them for finding such great photos.

Oh and I swear I'll document the code properly...eventually. Admittedly I'm *one of those* people who believes in "self documenting code" (LOL).

This project is built around the wonderful Fast.AI library. Unfortunately, it's the -old- version and I have yet to upgrade it to the new version. (That's definitely on the agenda.) So prereqs, in summary:
|
|
|
* ***Old* Fast.AI library** [**UPDATE 11/7/2018**] Easiest thing to do in my mind is just to take the fastai/fastai folder and drop it in the root of this project, right next to fasterai's folder. Just today, I found this thread on installing fast.ai 0.7- This is probably your best resource on this subject! https://forums.fast.ai/t/fastai-v0-7-install-issues-thread/24652 . Do this first- this will take you most of the way, including dependencies.

|
|
* **Pytorch 0.4.1** (needs spectral_norm, so latest stable release is needed). https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/
