One way to consider the issue of Colorization: "It's just data"
i.e. ultimately a picture, or film, or video is just "picture information" or data. The "raw data" is a certain volume of information encoded as a series of numbers. You can manipulate the data using certain general operation like matrix multiplication, averaging, truncating, removing noise (or error) -- or more sophisticated operations like compositing, painting, editing, color correcting, encoding, etc.
But no matter how you change or manipulate the image -- it is still just DATA. It is just numbers scanned into a data file on some computer. It is just numbers. Nothing is being changed except numbers. Nothing is being changed except a copy of a copy. Nothing is being changed except you -- your impression, your image, and your memory. But really, it's still just data. DATA. Numbers.
