I digitised our family photos but a lot of them were damaged (shifted colours, spills, fingerprints on film, spots) that are difficult to correct for so many images. I've been waiting for image gen to catch up enough to be able to repair them all in bulk without changing details, especially faces. This looks very good at restoring images without altering details or adding them where they are missing, so it might finally be time.

Hope it works well for you!

In my eyes, one specific example they show (“Prompt: Restore photo”) deeply AI-ifies the woman’s face. Sure it’ll improve over time of course.

Another question/concern for me: if I restore an old picture of my Gramma, will my Gramma (or a Gramma that looks strikingly similar) ever pop up on other people's "give me a random Gramma" prompts?

It might show her for prompts of “show me the world’s best grandma” :)

On free tier, I’d essentially believe that to be the default behavior. In reality they might simply use your feedback and your text prompts instead. Certainly know free Google/OpenAI LLM usage entails prompts being used for research.

Edit: decent chance it would NOT directly integrate grandma into its training, but would try hard to use an offline model for any privacy concerns
