Photo restoration, colorization, AP v1


stojames

Recommended Posts

I took a photo restoration class a while ago. Class used photoshop, but I did all my work with Affinity Photo v1. I have a damaged image provided in the class here. I did my restoration work on it and then I tried colorizing it on my own (not an assignment for this image). I have been restoring quite a few old family photos. Some are too damaged for me to do anything with.

It is those you have to master

To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.

Thanks. Well, some have parts of photo missing where surface of photo was torn away by tape or something else so I don’t know what person should look like or surrounding area should look like. I try hard though on what I can.

Here is an example of one beyond my skills. My grandmother in a garden attached below. 
I don’t know where the garden was or what it looks like. My mom didn’t know either. Anyway, some are beyond my capability.

Respectfully, I disagree with your skills assessment. Take it in bits and pieces. Tackle what you know first. Clean up the obvious and then slowly rebuild. Some photos I've work on for hours, stretching across days and even weeks. The sample below I worked on for a client over the course of a month. The plaid wasn't easy, especially where it creased and folded. Could probably do a little more evening out of some bits but the client was happy so. . . .LouGNewAndOldBandPhoto.thumb.png.7a15e10800c85b1fdab01947e07f02de.pngLouGNewAndOldBandPhoto.thumb.png.7a15e10800c85b1fdab01947e07f02de.png
