Which is closed now so I’m posting it here.
That https://community.topazlabs.com/u/tomaras made on Oct 2023, Post 38 regarding “I’m trying to restore a 1940’s portrait that has a photo texture to it.”
I replied in May 2025 Post 63, with an adequate repair to his picture which was ok-ish.
Well I came across his picture today in my workshop and thought that I would try to improve on it.
This is a side by side of the original picture and my repair at the time.
And this is what I produced working off-line this afternoon using Gigapixel AI, Gigapixel, Photo and with a tiny bit of help from Affinity Photo 2 to colorize it. Note Affinity Photo 2 doesn’t have a colorization feature.
This is a side by side of the original picture and my colorized picture.
Anyhow I hope you enjoy.
Best regards Robert B.
