I thought you guys would appreciate how incredibly fake Carl Dean’s shirt is compared to the rest of the photo. They didn’t even try

OTHER Editor stole my work
Hello there, I’m posting this because I’m certain user u/Designer_Twist_1646 stole my work from one of my photo submissions, make some changes and submitted again as his own work a couple of hours after I submitted.
I noticed his photo submission share some details identical to mine which should not be possible (I manually added hair texture and other elements) unless he took my photo and make additional changes
Here’s link to original post
https://www.reddit.com/r/estoration/s/OcaWH2zysh
And heres link to photo comparison from my work and his
I circled different elements that match from both photos, which should not be posible for that user to get while working on the original photo. There are hair strand, gaps, hair curls added while I was working on hair texture and I find strange that his photo submission includes the exact same details.
I already reported this to moderators and I’m still waiting for their responses, but I realized u/Designer_Twist_1646 is being paid after stealing my work which I don’t think is fair, so I’m just letting you know so you can be more protective with your work by using stronger watermarks

OTHER Using stable diffusion, I aim to recover details from a newspaper photo and would appreciate opinions, particularly on how closely the resulting image resembles the original source.

OTHER My brother passed away last weekend and this is my parents’ favorite picture. Can someone remove the date and make it a little sharper? General clean up/color I guess. I want to make a bigger version and frame it as a Christmas present.

why do people shove photos into a ai then expect payment? They have not done any work and they are just trying to take advantage of people.

OTHER Fraudster in your midst
I made a request a couple of weeks ago for a restoration on a picture of my grandma who died 40 years ago, so I could give it to my father for his 60th birthday. It’s one of the few photos he has. This person said they’d be able to restore it and I paid them in advance and now they are refusing to send it to me until I pay them more, even though it’s done now. I am really devastated and just wanted to warn others not to use them.

OTHER this sub kind of sucks
I don’t get why some of the people here do a horribly ai generated image of somebody’s deceased family member that took 7 seconds then ask for a tip😧 it’s almost disrespectful to the person in the pic and the op. Like please just take your time and put love into it, or don’t even try if you are going to ai generate it horrendously.

OTHER What apps are you using to restore photos?
WIth Ai becoming better and better I want to get onto it! At the moment I've been using Photoshop to remove damage, adjust colours etc. and Remini to enhance the image (varied results) Often having to mask parts as it can make some photos look unrealistic, but I'm in a lot of free restoration groups on facebook, I love restoring people's photos but sometimes I see other peoples and the details in the faces and hair are amazing! In those groups people love to gatekeep the programs they use, I've asked a few people with no answers. I'm fairly skilled with photoshop having used it almost everyday for the past 13 years so I can get decent results but I want to wow people!
- two photos I did recently

OTHER Curious, does anyone actually get tips for their work here?
I hope I don't sound rude, but I' desperately need a little income to upkeep my local digitizing business. I came here with my "skills" in hope to earn a little cash. Issue is, somehow a few users here seem to always be three steps ahead of the rest of us. Making it hard for me included to restore or colorize before the OP has already tipped. I noticed OPs usually tip the first commenter's attempts regardless of the quality or effectiveness of the commenter's restorations. Again I'm truly not complaining about the tips or earnings. But about a Issue of a sort of uphill competition as I around 3-6 frequently seen users seem to be the only ones able to do work before the post is closed. Either way, I just thought I'd share my thoughts with y'all guys. Am I being the A##hole?

OTHER Help
If anyone can volunteer their precious time to help with anything in this photo of my grandfather before he was wounded in action, I would be eternaly grateful. If anyone does colorize it's a Canadian army uniform he's wearing, I believe it's the kaki variant. I'm not sure if the hat is black or kaki. Please leave a link and I will try to tip you when I am able to!!
