Make it in TelegramBusy scenes
A crowd scene punishes aggressive sharpening, since every small face competes for attention. Ask for even, gentle improvement and zoom in at several places. The people closest to the camera get the best result. For the family you care about, crop and run a separate pass. Then paste that crop back into the full scene in an editor, matching the tone.
Signs and rides
Painted signs and ride structures are full of letters and lines that the bot may redraw. Compare lettering with the original and with other photos of the same fair. Local newspapers from the same year often show the same attractions and can help you check what was there. If you plan to print the photo for a village anniversary, bring the original to a local history group, where somebody will probably recognize half the faces.
Tips
- Crop the family in the foreground for a face pass.
- Write the fair's name and year in the file title.
- Keep banner text unchanged and read it by eye.
- Add a colorized version for a festival poster.
Questions and answers
Can it colorize a carnival?
Yes. Name colors of tents or rides if you recall them.
What about rain spots on the print?
They are cleaned in the same pass. Mention them in the caption.
What does it cost?
2 credits per image. New users get 15 free credits, so 7 images cost nothing. After that packs start at 129 Telegram Stars, about $2.6 and credits do not expire.

What the bot does not do
