Make it in TelegramOne hint, many people
In a class photo, a single uniform hint affects many figures. The AI applies the same color to similar clothes, which makes the picture consistent. Without it, you may get random shirts and dresses in different colors. Add the main uniform color and any distinct features such as ribbons. Send the scan as a file in Telegram so the picture is not compressed, and keep the untouched original in a separate folder for comparison.
Classroom colors
Walls, boards and floors are guesses. A green or dark board, light wall and wooden desks look natural. If you remember, say so in the caption. Keep expectations modest: the goal is a plausible color image rather than a record. The first launch gives 15 free credits, which is enough for 7 images, so you can test the result on your own picture before buying anything.
Tips
- Uniform color is the main hint, it covers many people at once.
- Backgrounds are plausible but not recorded.
- Small faces need a high-resolution scan.
- Check that everyone's skin tone looks consistent.
