Make it in TelegramThree common jobs
Most requests fall into three groups. Repair removes scratches, stains and creases. Color adds natural tones to black and white. Sharpen clears soft photos. You can combine them, but doing one at a time is easier to judge. Treat the result as a careful interpretation of the original and share it together with the untouched scan. Compare faces with other photos of the same person, since the AI works from patterns and a rebuilt face may not match exactly.
Know the limits
The AI works from patterns. Fine detail lost long ago cannot be recovered, and badly damaged faces are rebuilt and may not match the person. The bot is not for printing or for passport and ID photos. Treat results as a good copy for memory, not as a document. Take your time with the result and look at it at full size on a computer, because small details are easy to miss on a phone screen.
Tips
- Start with one photo that matters less, to learn the process.
- Read the result at full size on a computer.
- Keep all versions in one folder.
- Take small steps and compare.
