Colorizing images is not based on imagination, any more that a graph of data is based on imagination. In both cases, data is translated from raw numbers to a form we can better understand.

Do you agree that all translating includes an element of interpretation? BTW - I like the pretty colors. I think they sell more Newsweeks and stuff.

Dose drawing a line graph from a dataset involve interpretation? Possibly. But you can reconstrict the data from the graph if you include an indicator of the data points.

The colorized image is a reversable transform of the data points.
