Valentine’s Day is almost upon us, and what better time to reminisce about the great romances in your family?
Everybody loves to look at wedding photos. It’s such a thrill to lay eyes on those young, beautiful, lovestruck faces and think about how far they came and how much they accomplished and experienced since. Even the most camera-averse families (or those who couldn’t afford cameras) often had photos taken on their wedding day, knowing that these would be memories to cherish for generations to come.
Well, it’s time to hit the old albums and the shoeboxes in the attic and dig up those photos, because this could be your chance to win a free Complete plan or a DNA kit from MyHeritage!
Last year, MyHeritage became the #1 platform for uploading, enhancing, and sharing historical photos with the launch of MyHeritage In Color™ — a tool to automatically colorize black and white photos — and the Photo Enhancer, which enhances photos and brings blurry faces into sharp focus. We recently added color restoration to our repertoire: a new feature of MyHeritage In Color™ that breathes new life into faded color photos.
This photo, for example, was restored using this feature — many thanks to Jo S., Admin of the MyHeritage Users Group on Facebook for sharing her lovely color-restored wedding photo!
Below is another beautiful example from MyHeritage user Lloyd P., who just celebrated his 40th wedding anniversary! He tells us that his wife says the color reproduction of his tux is dead-on.
To celebrate the expansion of our photo tool suite, we’re launching the #LoveInFullColor photo competition!
Here’s how you can enter:
- Enhance, colorize, and/or restore the colors in your photo. You can do this by uploading your photo to MyHeritage In Color™ and then enhancing it. For more detailed instructions, see this blog post (which includes instructions on how to enhance a colorized or color-restored photo).
- Share the resulting photo on your favorite social media channel: Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram. Be sure to tag @myheritage and include the hashtag #LoveInFullColor when you post.
- Alternatively, if you don’t have an account on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram, you can share your photos and stories via email by sending them to stories@myheritage.com with #LoveInFullColor in the subject line.
- Share as many photos as you’d like until February 14, 2021, and then we’ll vote on our favorites.
Tip: You can share just the end result, or a side-by-side comparison of the original version and the enhanced and colorized or color-restored version.
Another tip: We love a good story. The more you tell us about the photo, the better!
3 lucky winners will be awarded their choice of a Complete plan or a MyHeritage DNA kit. The Complete plan gives you full access to all of MyHeritage’s features, including Smart Matches™, Record Matches, 13 billion historical records, and unlimited use of the full suite of MyHeritage photo tools. The MyHeritage DNA test reveals your ethnic origins, based on 42 ethnicities and 2,114 geographic regions, and finds new relatives.
Good luck! We can’t wait to see your photos!
