BEST AI Image Restoration & Colorization Tools 2023

In this video, I will be going through the current best tool for image colorization, image restoration, and facial upscaling. This video is made for image restoration only, video restoration can be quite different so maybe I'll cover it in a future video. Hope this video would help you in restoring images of your love ones! None of the AI services mentioned today were a sponsor, so all opinions are my own.

I find myself constantly turning to your videos for the most up-to-date research in the open source AI space. Thank you for the hard work you put into these videos. It shows! -Niko

[spaceadv]

I really enjoy your videos, and they stand out in quality in this space on YouTube. thanks for all the time and effort you put into them!

[NoName-lutg]

thankyou so much, for intensive research and compiling all of them, I love your work

[MridulDasArts]

Want best face restoration? Combine codeformer with Gfpgan in chainner.

[MrSongib]

There is a model for coloring image with ctrlnet aswell using SD WebUI "ctrlnet brightness and Illumination" but I didn't even try it atm. xd
for restore face there a bias aswell in the model.
seems like myheritage build on gfpgan.
i didn't like codeformer that much, the face compare to other part of the body seems off. you can test the saturation and brightness on PS and see it. gfpgan is better but the downside is kinda scratchy.

Makes sense to use skill share to learn and design some custom pipeline for your personal photos

[pokepress]

Do any of these tools work well for color correction?

[Darkvader]

is there any simple image restoration model that i can implement for final year project

[_.-.]

How about video colorization specifically? I'm very interested on that wranch

[TheMysticWolf]

Can you recommend any good Ai restoration programs?(even the ones that you have to pay) I have some photos of me and my sister and sadly they have a lot of noise in them.. :( So Im looking for a program that fix/upscale photos. I dont know anything about ai programs ^^'

...if it is frontal portrait, simply use a mirror to make an exact copy of the other half, most everything in the nature, "has symmetry" to some degree

Can you can you make a tutorial on how to make the ai voice in regards to TTS + RVC please?

[KebabTM]

I was hoping you would also compare Time Travel Rephotography, but I might end up paying for Palette.

Nice video! I just want to say that a day will come when YouTubers won't start their videos by saying an introduction and history of the subject. Rather, then would immediately speak about the subject of the video.

[Redtash]

Capcut web version is the best that I have used.

I see my comment with colab links was not posted (anty spam/url ? ohh well :) )
So will copy paste my comment from voice clone 101 for clarification (I expect ByCloud will see this comment ^^ - thank you in advance for a reply)


So if I get it right.
1) record voice
2) use whisper to get transcription (+some fixes of text)
3) use text-voice model that is similar to our voice
4) use voice-voice (that model need to be trained on our own)
---
-Training of voice happens once.
-we are doing all of that to make our dialog more smooth, but we still make voice over to video for correct speed and length of video (not a case when video is created after voice creation).

It seems that the field hasn't advanced that much.

GFP-GAN is definitely the state of the art. All of the other models create a completely different person, even if it's higher resolution.
If you're trying to do this with old family photos, people will hate that
