I appreciate the note of thanks. Here's an unsolicited update, just to show what a patriotic background swap might look like.

oh, I assumed his eye colour - if it was brown/dark I can fix that in a jiffy.

Hi Lyn, @Astoness I'm a bit late to the party on this restore, but I think it turned out well. Did this while on a boring IT conference call just now.

I found I had a coincidence with the Peaky blinders show. My great grandfather Thomas moved from Lossiemouth, Scotland to Garrison Lane, living in North Holme. He fought in the great war and was gassed in Ypres. After that, he couldn't work as a labourer and so he became a Bookies runner. So...

Thanks. 90% Lightroom, (hand tinting colour takes the most time) but also Paint Shop Pro 17, remini in a bluestacks instance, Runway machine learning online, K-lite media pack (to drop a frame from an AI animated likeness) - sometimes I use faceapp for background swaps when they're requested...

Hi Lyn, Sure.

Cheers. I do like to restore veteran photos, especially if they're from Birmingham. I've been perfecting skin tone for a while now.

Hi Eric, I think I saw in another thread that this lady might have passed. Sorry to hear that. Hopefully this restored picture at least makes a nice memorial in that case. Cheers

This is right at the limit of being able to extrapolate likeness. It looks like it's a halftone dithered photo taken on an LCD screen (adding pixelation!) of a cracked and damaged, possibly already low-res photo. It was a worthy challenge and I've extrapolated likenesses from about the same...

It's a still from from an animated computer generated likeness, so he's actually looking slightly away from the camera now. I tried to get the same head position but there wasn't a frame with head and eyes just right. The likeness should be the same. If anything, the process can deepen wrinkles...

A couple I took back in 2007

Might as well hop to the latest one in the thread since I was skipping back. Also a closeup on gramps with colour

Why stop at colour, why not go for a full Artificial Intelligence, Deep Neural Network, Generative Adversarial Network, colourised likeness!? @Astoness Response to your post here, ta.

Hi Pauline, That's a nice portrait that lends itself to AI likeness upscaling through a Generative Adversarial Network, a type of Deep Neural Network. The colour, and to some extent, the light, I have painted on manually in Lightroom. B19 and B9, represent!

Amazon is killing them all anyway. House of Frazer here in Edinburgh is on its way out with the closure of Jenners

Hi Maris, What a lovely picture. My first thought was Paris or Rome, Lewis's should have kept this going. I'd have loved to have gone up there. Very Breakfast at Tiffany's

Hi Carolann, a bit of an old one for me to respond to, but here's my restore with colour at 4K resolution

Same stay as above, but I'm on the wrong side of the lens
