The photos above are before and after of old pictures updated for a friend of mine with whom I used to work. They are of her and her husband, vintage 1970.
The purpose of this post is to show how AI has changed photo restoration. I used to restore old photos for people and it would take a long time and the results were nothing compared to the above.
Below are a few pictures from old Steroview cards. I will try to pick out some of these to work on later today. Here are a couple I've done this morning.
Capital Building Austin Texas. I have no clue as to the time this picture was taken. Note how the AI removed the person walking.
Two different restorations below.
The card shows the following notation, "179 Kyoto, Japan, Kiyomizu Temple". There is a banner to the side that says World Series and there are other letters I cannot read. I believe there is a copyright of 1905 (which would have expired in 1955).
I will try to find time to work on more of these because it is kinda' fun.
What do you think? Is it worth the effort.
To restore the cards it requires a scan on a scanner. Then you have to crop out one of the two "stereo" pictures. For some reason the top of the photos have "arches" so you then have to figure out how to deal with that space. Then you move it into the software and go to work with the picture there.
Let me know!
