Time goes on, and all of a sudden the photograph seems to be in a bad state.

It does not even learn anything but patterns.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"1668\" data-end=\"1979\">Scratches are inconveniences when it looks at an old photo. Tears are missing data.

Thereupon it constructs what is lacking according to probability.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"1981\" data-end=\"2181\">That is why one moment there can be amazing results, and the next moment a bit weird. <strong data-start=\"2067\" data-end=\"2097\"><em data-start=\"2069\" data-end=\"2095\">The face may be so sharp<\/em><\/strong>, and the smile may be somewhat foreign.

Posture and expression can be made alive as opposed to flat by restoring contrast.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"2727\" data-end=\"3018\">Until one sees a restored picture, most people are unaware of the state of damage that the image has been in. <strong data-start=\"2837\" data-end=\"2898\"><em data-start=\"2839\" data-end=\"2896\">It is like learning to live with a broken phone display<\/em><\/strong> and then realizing that you must change the display finally, you lost the idea of how clear things were expected to be.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"3020\" data-end=\"3131\">AI restoration does not involve creating more drama.

The individual on the photograph is still familiar, but it is more of an artistically oriented photograph rather than a literal one.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"4311\" data-end=\"4474\">Reconstructions seem like lost memories. <strong data-start=\"4352\" data-end=\"4391\"><em data-start=\"4354\" data-end=\"4389\">Drawings are like interpretations<\/em><\/strong> of such memories.
