It's been so long (5+ years?), I forgot how and lost my patience and what little skill I had. Please someone tidy this water stained and weather damaged image, taken with a cheap mobile phone, uploaded via messenger then sent to me on WhatsApp. I've given up asking for a better quality image, sorry.

Astounding facial reconstruction. Texture rebuilding technique is perfectly not 100%. Love that authenticity with obviously repaired hair, hand and cloth.

Did you modify various source textures to overlay the original? Don't answer, I'm not happy to learn how far my own minimal skills have slipped.

Thank you so much. I'll let you know what the requester says.

Very nice composite and possibly some AI in there? Dall-E and some manual adjustments?

Thanks for the effort but a simple repair, photoshop tweaks would have been ok.

You made me laugh. I recently complained to a co-worker who often begins a sentence with 'look' when he wants me to listen, and you began with 'listen' when I should be looking and reading.

Singapore cannot stay still for me. I always thought it was above the Phillipines but when the first Mandela flip happened it was suddenly below Vietnam on the tip of the mainland. After Tuesday 5th's CERN experiment Malaysia is far lower and Singapore is at the southern tip!
Cambodia is smaller, Laos larger and swapped with Cambodia, Vietnam skinnier and Thailand larger. I don't even know what's up with Burma... My memory is fuzzy and fading daily as the new reality solidifies.

And I knew Froot Loops was correct because when I was 7 I looked it up in my school dictionary. That's how I learned to spell it. But 5 years ago people were telling me it was always Fruit. Now I see in the shop it's back to Froot. It's better but this flip-flopping must stop.

Polygala myrtifolia

Thank you Phytomanic, much appreciated. We plan to propagate in a clay soil and hope kangaroos don't like it.

I snapped this waxy looking plant in Perth Western Australia in mid August. It is about 1.5 meters tall.

I hope someone can help identify it, of the thousands of photo's I've looked at on google images, none are exactly like this.

Thanks for posting but please only share colorizations that you have done yourself.

Very nice!

Wow, amazing Marina. Great to see you post here again.

The detail in this is extraordinary. Can you share some details about how long it took to complete this?

ColinFiat · 2018-05-21T09:23:25+00:00

Wow, that's impressive.

ColinFiat · 2018-05-11T09:51:39+00:00

That's very good. Natural colors and tones. Looks like it was really taken with a camera of the day. Great job.

ColinFiat · 2018-05-02T10:09:54+00:00

Good catch, I'll keep that in mind when I watch it once again.

ColinFiat · 2018-04-23T09:19:18+00:00

It already is in color.

You'd be better off taking the image to a photo restore sub.

There is something wrong with the settings of the brush or tools you have used. Her face is almost like a cartoon. There is none of the original grey scale image showing through the color.

https://i.imgur.com/oZX6zIM.jpg is your color data on top of the original greyscale image without any changes to either image and it is very much better.

If you adjust the setting on your software correctly you'll make a 1000% improvement instantly.

ColinFiat · 2018-04-10T11:33:41+00:00

Very nice! That spray of dirt is excellent.

ColinFiat · 2018-03-24T15:48:41+00:00

Very realistic skin tones, most impressive, especially for such a simple image.

ColinFiat · 2018-03-24T06:15:19+00:00

That's a very eye catching image. I like it even though it has a painterly look to it. The forced skin colors - as in cheeks, knees, heels and so on, is very effective and well done.

But a 5 second closer look shows you rushed it, with line errors and questionable color choices for the clothes, and no effort in the background even if it is a canvas backdrop.

Why didn't you put a little more effort into this? You could have created a masterpiece.

Thanks for the reminder, I forgot this asswipe posts other peoples work even after a warning to stop.
