Scan or photograph the old picture in good natural light, with no reflections or shadows, framing the whole image and keeping the paper flat.\n2. Open the image AI you chose and send the attached photo together with the colourisation prompt.\n3. Ask it explicitly to preserve the faces 100% and only add colour, without changing features, expressions or the setting.\n4. Generate three or four variations to compare and pick the one with the most natural skin tones for the period.\n5. If any colour comes out artificial, ask for a new pass with softer, more realistic tones.\n6. Save the result in high resolution to print or keep.\nFinal tip: these are precious memories, so review them calmly and remember the AI should only colour what is already there, never invent faces or people who were not in the original photo.","_views":8,"_likes":0,"_nota_sum":0,"_nota_count":0,"_nota_avg":0,"_nota_weight":0,"_i18n_grupo":1243},"macro":[2],"subcategoria":[185,7],"prompt_tag":[188,192,47,35,57],"ferramenta":[13,15,16],"class_list":["post-105","prompt","type-prompt","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","macro-image","subcategoria-family-kids","subcategoria-photography","prompt_tag-colorize","prompt_tag-family","prompt_tag-memories","prompt_tag-old-photo","prompt_tag-restoration","ferramenta-chatgpt","ferramenta-gemini","ferramenta-nanobanana"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/prompt\/105","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/prompt"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/prompt"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/106"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=105"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"macro","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/macro?post=105"},{"taxonomy":"subcategoria","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/subcategoria?post=105"},{"taxonomy":"prompt_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/prompt_tag?post=105"},{"taxonomy":"ferramenta","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ferramenta?post=105"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
