How do I manually download the Colorize model?

VueScan 9.8.37 and later includes a Colorize model that can be used to colorize black and white photos. VueScan will automatically offer to download this model for you. But sometimes there are issues with the automatic download, and you may need to manually download the model.

First, download the model file from here.

Next, copy the file to the same directory as your vuescan.log file. The default location for the those directories are:

  • Windows: C:\Users\<Your Username>\Pictures\VueScan
  • macOS: ~/Pictures/VueScan/
  • Linux: ~/.vueScan/
