Users working with historical documents, academic presentations, or archival reports often encounter grayscale or faded images that need revitalization. Manually colorizing these images typically requires advanced photo editing software and significant time. WPS Office provides an integrated "Colorize Photo" tool to address this need efficiently without leaving the application.

Step1:Open the Image Editor

Select the image in your WPS document. In the "Picture Tools" tab, click the "Edit Image" button.
