Colorize & Enhance Old Photos Using AI

Hi, I'm Stephen, the Calculator Guy, and today we're diving into something a bit different from decentralized finance – we're exploring the fascinating world of AI. Because I believe AI is the future, I want to be at the forefront of this technological advancement. In this guide, I'll walk you through the process of taking an old, grainy black-and-white photo and transforming it into a modern, vibrant image. We'll be removing objects, colorizing it, and restoring it to look like a photo taken in 2015. Let's dive right in!

Step 1: Erase Objects Using Magic Studio

For this example, I'll be using a photo of my grandmother and grandfather. Sadly, I never met my grandfather, and there's an interesting backstory about his absence which involves him living in Mexico unbeknownst to us for many years. No shade to Grandpa, but for this demonstration, I'll be erasing him from the photo.

Upload and Erase: Start by highlighting the object you want to erase in Magic Studio and simply erase it. The tool will perform its magic and make the person or object disappear seamlessly.
Download: Download the edited photo. You can opt for a high-resolution download for $ 7.99 per month, but I'll go with a low-resolution one for this demonstration.

Step 2: Colorize Using Palette

Next, we'll bring some color to our black-and-white photo using the Palette AI tool.

Upload Image: Upload the edited, black-and-white image to Palette.
Choose Palette: The AI will automatically colorize the image with a base palette. You can experiment with various palettes like Vivid Natural, Colorful Memories, Warm Glow, etc.
Download: Download the newly colorized photo.

Step 3: Enhance Using Remini

To make our colorized photo look modern and crisp, we'll use Remini to enhance it.

Upload Image: Upload the colorized image to Remini.
Enhance: Remini will convert your old photo into a high-definition, modern-day picture. You can see the before and after results and the transformation is quite astounding.
Purchase to Remove Watermark: For just 99 cents, you can remove the watermarks. It's a small price to pay for such an amazing service.

Bonus Step: Watermark Removal

If for some reason you cannot afford the 99 cents, Watermark Remover AI can help you remove watermarks from the image. Be aware, this might be illegal or frowned upon in many countries and is not recommended.

Alternative Example

Let's do a quick example using another photo of my grandparents.

Upload and Colorize: I upload a different black-and-white photo of my Grandparents to Palette, which colorizes it.
Enhance: After downloading, I upload the colorized image to Remini for enhancement.
Final Result: The final result is a colorized, high-definition image that looks modern and vibrant.
