10 animated photos with artificial intelligence
-
I purchased a license from the M* H** site (I don't advertise it) to be able to access the supposedly better version of DeOldify.
I share them as a mere curiosity, I think their most useful use in communities like this is to use some frames to create alternative covers.

Let me translate. .

He purchased a full subscription to MyHeritage and used the 'animate photo' portion of their photo enhancer tools. There is no license it's just unlimited enhancements.

I did some enhancements of some Beatles photos on another thread. They are in a Google Drive link.

By they way I don't think they use the term DeOldify anymore.

Engonoceras
Let me translate what you say: You are still as arrogant as you were in BZ.

I remember that nothing seemed to you.
Just skip past my posts and all is settled.

The photo enhancement at "MyHeritage" works great on photos that are grainy and/or a bit out of focus.

If you are doing restorations of family photos I recommend overlaying the enhanced photo over the original at 50% or 75% opacity and only on the face. The clothes and backgrounds you want to erase at least 50%-100% of the enhanced version leaving the original. I use an old version of Photoshop to stack them.

The enhancement appears to be using a face element replacement method like a smart phone app but on everything else it does a VERY aggressive grain reduction that unfortunately erases most of the details in the clothes.

If the uploaded image is under 1000 pixels it will double the resolution.

Here are some of the Beatles images I enhanced and color corrected last month:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... sp=sharing

These are noticeably better than what can be found online. I only chose photos that needed enhancement. Notice the photo of Ringo and the Blue Meanie now actually look like a real photo instead of the magazine print it was sourced from.

I tried a few animations but they didn't work very good. The animations pretty much require people looking straight ahead to work well.

I think this I.A. TECHNOLOGY is a double-edged sword:
(a) that the videos are short-lived is good, as they act only as an evocation to remember someone dear to you.
b) But if the videos last longer, they could start to replace real memories.

One can go to the site and do for free about 4 or 5 and then... you have to pay.
That's why I don't advertise it, because it can be interpreted as spam.
I already paid the subscription and I'm already bored to animate all the family photos and beatles, rolling stones, politics I've found.

BUT I OFFER MY SUPPORT TO ANYONE WHO WANTS TO ANIMATE A BEATLE FACE PHOTO AND DOESN'T WANT TO PAY FOR THE SERVICE.

The enhancement works well on certain photos (maybe 10% of the ones I tried). It fills in details (particularly hair) and goes a good job getting rid of film grain. Here's one I did of some guy I snapped a photo of a couple of decades ago.

At first, I reacted positively to the animations ("Wow! That's my great-grandmother, and she's MOVING!"), but when you do that to faces of people you actually KNOW you can tell how far off the mark it's going ("Why does my sister look Chinese all of sudden?!").

The very BEST thing, though, is when it reads stuff like bits of landscape or hair ribbons and thinks it's a face, so suddenly tree bark will have a mouth and maybe an eye or two. And THEN animate that. Just keep the kids away - they'll have nightmares. :)
