Make it in TelegramGo gently
A calm, gentle result serves a memorial photo better than a dramatic one. Ask for gentle sharpening in the caption. If the face looks too different from the original, trust your own memory and keep the first version. Compare faces with other photos of the same person, since the AI works from patterns and a rebuilt face may not match exactly.
Together with family
Sharing the result with family can be comforting, and others may notice details you missed. A face that looks right to one person may look off to another. Agree on a version that feels true to the person and keep the original in the family archive. A better scan helps more than any setting, so rescan the print at 600 dpi or higher if you still have it.
Tips
- Show the result to a relative who knew the person.
- If the face looks different, use the original or rerun.
- Take your time, there is no need to finish today.
- Keep the original untouched.
