Photo restoration using Photoshop and AI SDXL model in Automatic 1111

The photo was taken in 1935 or 1936 and it was the only copy of my grandfather and grandmother most probably on their wedding day. The photo can be seen in the following link

A photo restoration that is done mostly in Photoshop, but it also combines generation from the SDXL model in AUTOMATIC 1111 web ui and the image to image mode. This generation is used to help with cleaning up and possibly generate more details for missing parts of the photo.

Hello, please leave the sources of photos from your video lessons in the description under the video

Awesome!!! Thanks!!!👍👍👍 And how about colorizing?

[@nikolakakism]

Hello, thank you! I personally avoid colorizing since it is a form or re-imagining the photo so I do not have lot of experience with it. Photoshop neural filters have introduced a Colorize plugin which can automate a color layer from where to start and make some adjustments. However the results are not the best, most of the times.
Another workflow is to use the Stable Diffusion model in combination with the Canny controlnet model to generate alternative color images that do look like the input one. From these similar ones you can get color and details information.

Very cool,only women legs doesn’t look nice.

[@nikolakakism]

Indeed, the whole photo in the state shown in the video needs more attention. I already have addressed some issues like the legs that you mention, the floor that it is like they are floating on a grey background etc. In general, photos that are in bad shape, it is better to generate more ai images with low denoising strength to improve it step by step in a better and more controlled way.
