Upload the image in sufficient resolution.
Then select the entire image using the „selection tool“.
On the left, choose the „Modify“ mode and enter the following prompt: „This is a very old, faded photo. Please try to restore it so that all contours and colors are visible again. It shows a light-skinned woman in front of a neutral background.“ and click „Modify“.
After a short waiting time, four suggestions will be displayed to choose from. Select the one that most closely matches the original.
Due to the condition of the original image, there is a fairly large margin for interpretation.
In our case, the face was interpreted differently.
Select the face using the „selection tool“. The selection should be slightly larger than the face. If the results do not meet your expectations, you can experiment with different selection sizes.
On the left, choose the „Restore“ editing mode and click Restore.
After a short waiting time, four suggestions will be presented to choose from. You can then decide which restored face most closely matches the original.
Note! The result will again contain image artifacts from the original image. We will remove these in the next step.
Select the face again using the „selection tool“. As in the previous step, the selection should be slightly larger than the face.
On the left, choose the „Modify“ editing mode and enter the following prompt: „Remove the errors from the face so that it matches the rest of the image.“ and click „Modify“.
After a short waiting time, four suggestions will be presented again. One of these suggestions should now be close to the original face and no longer contain any errors.
Select the entire image again using the „selection tool“.
On the left, choose the „Modify“ editing mode and enter the following prompt: „Please convert this into a color photo.“ and click „Modify“.
After a short waiting time, four suggestions will be presented again, from which you can choose.
This step is optional and largely a matter of preference, since the image was originally a black-and-white photo.
