Make it in TelegramPattern is partly rebuilt
When lace has softened into a blur, the bot rebuilds a believable pattern, not the exact original. If the weave was visible in part of the picture, it follows that and extends it. For a family dress that survives, compare the result with the real garment and tell the bot what the pattern looks like. A description such as small floral motifs or wide bands can guide the rebuild.
Faces first, then fabric
Fabric work is a finishing touch. Fix scratches, stains and contrast first, then ask for texture. A heavy hand on fabric can make clothes look pasted on, so a moderate result is often more convincing. If you plan a print, check the detail at the print size, since lace that looks fine on a phone may look too busy on paper, and the other way around.
Tips
- Name the fabric you remember, such as lace or wool.
- Keep the pattern shape from the scan.
- Scan clothes at a high resolution.
- Do not over-sharpen before sending.
