Finally! Someone explains the proper use of AI. AI does not reduce a restorer's hard work.
Ai is the "polish" that enhaces a good restorer's hard work.
Nothing replaces the foundation principals of restoration (eg. detailed cloning) or understanding the power of your PS tools.
This is pretty much my restoration workflow.
Well done!

when you are putting one picture in front of another, to make the both match perfectly do this: select boths layers/go to edit/select auto align layers/ and voila!

This is indeed a real and also realistic in depth workflow which I have rarely seen before. I like how you emphasize some very important details like the pattern of clothes.

A very nice job. The only addition I would finally add is a little grain.

Excelent video, thanks a lot for doing this. Why you didint use neural filters inside Photoshop, specifically Photo Restoration one?

Very good overall. Several times during cloning process tools were changed (eyedropper, paintbrush, etc.) with no explanation. With that being the case, I was not able to learn everything that I could have from watching the workflow.

I have a question, when the picture that I am working on the hair of the person is very damaged, how can I recreate the hair? do I Google "hair texture" like you did when you Googled "suite texture" ? Thank you so much
