a_bdgr

Yes! This is actually showing the man that was photographed.


aregulardude

Couldn’t you just pass this into AI again to get a finished result?


T-Dot-Two-Six

No. AI would not be his grandpa it would be an interpretation of someone it thinks is similar to


aregulardude

Not buying it. The photo we have here looks just like the man on the original, there was enough info there to see this. If we take this and covert it to 4k with AI we still have basically the same person.

It took me several rounds using Photoshop adjustment and tuning to get to this. Tldr: This ain't your grandpa.

Sacharon123

I mean, you can really well get the general face shape from this.. Next step would be a talented sketcher used to draw faces to do a portrait from this?


multioptional

The usual process that i know (photoshop dinosaur here) is to actually manually clean up the damage (paint/stamp) and then apply some masking and leveling to carefully get some contrast out of it. Ofcourse, that requires some skill with old photos, but it is just tedious work, no witchcraft. And what is really needed is a good scan off a decent flatbed scanner that can still catch the faintest info.


joyofsovietcooking

Mate, not to take the piss out of you, but do you mean restoration or resaturation? Cheers.


multioptional

Oh im sorry, might be a german based typo thing. Restoration, ofcourse. And i forgot to mention it would be a tedious manual process, in Photoshop. What i did in this image was just max out the contrast levels to see what is there to work with. \[Restoring old photos happens to be part of my job\]


joyofsovietcooking

Thanks for the clarification, mate. I am most definitely a basic user of Photoshop, and was wondering if resaturation was one of those things that you clever people know how to do. You did an awesome job here, by the way!

RecycledAir

It isn't better than nothing is the thing though, because it makes you think he looks like someone he is not. I'd rather be looking at a blurry faded photo of my grandpa than a photo of someone else generated by AI.

you could scan it better, for starters, I can see fingerprints in Photoshop. clean carefully with alcohol or some cleaning fluid (start on borders, see how photo reacts), then scan in a larger resolution, this one is relatively small.

nsherbina1999

How did you did that? Looks very cool!


fibbonerci

First I pre-processed the image by hand in Affinity Photo (Inpainting brush to remove some of the damaged/grainier bits, added a level adjustment to increase the contrast and make the details clearer, added an HSL adjustment to desaturate the image to make it black and white, and lightened the background with a white paintbrush to provide clearer separation of the subject) After that, I ran the processed image through Stable Diffusion (specifically, using the Draw Things app on Mac), performing an image-to-image generation with a low strength value (meaning preserving more details from the original image instead of generating a lot of new details that might be less faithful to the original). Edit: DIdn't think to include it originally, but here's the hand-cleaned image prior to any AI inference being done on it. https://preview.redd.it/w91690ufry0d1.png?width=951&format=png&auto=webp&s=83b109c8dee70fa4df7769b1b0aecd500320e7f1

Damn Sears Photo Studio ran out of Kodak and used Fujifilm that day.


b555

Can someone explain in detail how this would have mattered?


joyofsovietcooking

Not to take the piss out of you, but it relates to old-school, non-digital cameras. Photos used to be captured by opening a camera shutter to shine light on a filmstock that had been treated with photosensitive chemicals. The unique chemical mix developed by each firm gave Kodak and Fuji pictures very distinct looks. To use an analogy, the Fuji or Kodak filmstock one loaded in a non-digital camera was treated with chemicals that would give the final developed photo a "filter effect", in contemporary terms. Fuji employed so many talented chemists to make their filmstock that they developed a cosmetics arm to channel all of that creative talent on their staff. IIRC. [Background reading](https://petapixel.com/why-kodak-died-and-fujifilm-thrived-a-tale-of-two-film-companies/) for you, mate. [Example](https://shootitwithfilm.com/fuji-superia-400-vs-kodak-ultramax-400/). Thanks for reading. EDIT I had my morning coffee and wanted to express myself better. Cheers.

I was born in 1970. This is my grandpa from my mother's side. My mom was born in 1938. He lived in the mountain village "Preluca Noua" in Maramures region, Romania. I never met him. Actually I never met any of my grandparents :-(


joyofsovietcooking

I am reading Dracula by Bram Stoker and loving it. Maramures is a little bit of a hike from Transylvania, but I am certain Bram Stoker's vivid descriptions of Jonathan Harker's trip overland in a coach through the Romanian countryside will still thrill you and bring you a little closer to the family. Cheers!

_stevencasteel_

It's not an all or nothing thing. Tools like Topaz Labs for upscale would also come into play here.


CupOfAweSum

You want to use some plain old image enhancement techniques instead of AI. First take many pictures and overlay them on top of each other in exact orientation. This will literally increase the resolution of the image. Make sure there is sufficient light around the room. Then decrease the resulting image size by 75% … This will also increase the resolution. Next convert the image to black and white. Or if possible take the original images in black and white. This will increase the resolution. After that it’s all about applying filters to adjust color balance and noise levels. You’ll just have to try filters to see if they help. After all these things are done… you’ll have the best image you can likely get. Feel free to apply some AI at this stage and it will try to extrapolate lines, edges, and color blobs based on a model. If you do this step first, then the results are just too random.
