That about the best I could do

I can't believe that! It looks great, thanks a lot!

That's cool, what did you use?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

I use Fotor when im doing something like this. It’s a website and mobile app and really well made

The eyes of the right person are changed. But yes, great!

They look like a spy!

Depending on how much the photo means to you,I would try to commission a restoration artist who specializes in touching up digitally.

Stable diffusion might be an option, I am using it to restore some old photos but there is quite the friggin learning curve

If you have Photoshop, it has some AI powered filters that are pretty amazing. One is specifically made to do what you are asking about.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Photoshop would probably be easier if you have it (or are willing to pay for it), but I think it may also be possible to do with tools like Krita and some of the generative AI plugins people have made for it -- e.g. https://github.com/Acly/krita-ai-diffusion

I haven't messed with it personally, but it's on my list of fun looking AI things to try out eventually if/when I finally get a better GPU.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Ironic, given that Krita came out against AI.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I haven't tried it personally, but https://deoldify.ai/ might be an option. Though, it seems more geared towards colorizing than restoring.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Check out the Topaz line of products. You'll have to pay (I think there's a trial though), but it does pretty amazing work

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

This is a pretty good video about restoration options.

Photoshop neural filters might help out there. There are quite a few options in that set.

[–] alphacyberranger 3 points 1 year ago

It should be possible. Maybe you need to use a combination of some AI tools. First do a reconstruction , then do a recolor. And finally clean it up using photoshop or affinity.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

This is honestly a pretty good use for AI that I didn't think about.
