Vance-There is no good reason why you can’t either take a cell phone photo of your old photo and post it. Or scan the photo and then post it.
You said you used AI to restore the photo. That means the original photo exists. Right?
Who cares if it’s ripped, stained, faded, or water/sun damaged. There had to be enough of the physical photo to exist and be visible for AI to be able to restore it.
Or did you tell AI to take your original photo and completely change it to make it the opposite of whatever it originally looked like?
Something doesn’t make sense here with your story line. And I will ask again in case you missed my question: What is your recipe for grits?
