Sorry mexaccurandero , we just tried fixing your old Photos of Landraces, without asking you i just thought maybe you could just hand the bad quality /historical relevant Pictures to somene who works with Photos.
These are old Landraces, the base of all Cannbis Strains, would be cool someone to slightly improove them so we can learn from History.
We tried it ourselve, me working in Remastering music, but its a bit over our Capabilities.
I found even a slight improovement made myselve as a Landrace lover pretty happy. Just do quick fix the major issues like color gradient, hue, sharpening, saturation …
I think they quiet alot pictures but i guess thats one day work for someone used to it.
even if they still dont become perfect , or even close to Hd, because its so historical and nostalgic, any improovement makes happy me ?!
i would send you some Landrace , from vietnam as thank you, potent selected landrace. but only have time next spring, mega bizzy now fleeing to south for overwintering
Ask Gemini 2.5 “banana nano”: “This image is out of focus and the colors are soft. It is a picture of a man in a field of cannabis. Can you please fix it?”
I would prefer to use the method [needsmorepaprika] offered. Certain artificial intelligence programs are just kind of weird and spooky, like the face on the back of the head, and I wonder how much of the real image comes through.
Here, @needsmorepaprika has put it trough the most advanced Sharpening programm, however he uploaded it, and for corectness didnt fix colorbalance, and i downloaded it, and fixed colorbalance to my capabilities, , this reuploading may have reencoded the picture and lowered quality,. anyhow. The tendencies are clear.
Gemeine banana would be easyer , It replaces more things with AI, and hence can create a more seamless looking pic on the first sight,
but @needsmorepaprika his program is more true . Its actually also AI based, but doesent replace whole Things (like a whole head, it only replaces Structures, not bigger…).
Also i feel a slightly more lively vibe from his picture dont know if its because the Gemini Banana is so dark or because to much things are replaced, hence it can become “spooky”.
And feelings are very crutial imho in Mastering and remastering, Atleast for me,
Donk know i just wanted to inspire @mexcurandero420 to fix pictures, either one is cool. If you decide to use the Gemini Banana you could shure do it on you own , just tell the program to fix the Face on Head, haha.
And , i tried briefely to find Gemini Banana and didnt find the right app ,i was confused. @BCC please give us a direct link.
Under “Tools” select “Create Image” which has a little banana icon next to it. Use the plus symbol button to upload the original image and then prompt it for the changes you want. Giving it some context, like “this is a man in a field of cannabis” can help a lot.
Photoshop may well be the better approach, but it is expensive and fairly complex. So I thought I would mention Gemini as it is free and does a reasonably good job.
I had to click a plus icon somewhere, it worked but unfortunately everything is in low quality for me, do the same as you but in a totally low resolution
I have just read that only in the USA and Japan unlimited image editing is possible. After a few attempts, it tells me that it cannot handle the task .
but it’s an excuse it’s not the truth in the USA works
That’s why I use topaz - it doesn’t make up important details. It uses ai but doesn’t try and create things out of thin air.
Some of the ai image fixing tools are pretty amazing though. Years ago I would have spent hours retouching from multiple comped shots but now you just say “fix it” and it’s pretty close straight away.
But yeah, you’ll probably need to pay a subscription to have enough prompts to fix all your pics using Gemini or similar.
I am of the same opinion if we want to improve old historical pictures of old landraces then it is an important goal that it is also authentic .
I have compared the pictures (the previous picture)and have noticed that in some cases it has added a small leaf where there was none even if it has edited everything correctly 99% of the time from my point of view.
I have really compared the leaves individually but small details can have a strong effect
this inconsistencies can have a bad Vibe
like a mutant leaf
