How to use

Restoring and colourising a graduation photo rescues a moment of family pride, and the process works by uploading the old photo with the prompt in Gemini, in NanoBanana or in ChatGPT. 1. Scan the graduation or military photo in good light, capturing the detail of the gown, the cap or the uniform. 2. Open the image AI you chose and send the attached photo together with the restoration and colourisation prompt. 3. Ask it to correct fading, stains and creases, recovering the sharpness of the face and of the real insignia. 4. Reinforce that the AI must preserve the face and the existing insignia, without inventing medals or people. 5. Generate variations until the colours of the uniform or the gown are faithful to the period, keeping the solemnity of the moment. 6. Save the result in high resolution to frame and keep. Final tip: rescuing a moment of such pride means giving it back all the dignity it deserves; preserve what is real and do not let the AI create insignia or faces that were not in the photo.
