Using Adobe Photoshop BETA, Adobe Phoshop and MyHeritage.com and Reimagine to repair a photo


This photo of one of my uncles has severe damage to the lower left. The question was, can I repair the photo using Adobe Photoshop BETA and artificial intelligence? The process is simple. I upload the photo, use the lasso tool to circle the damaged part of the image and then click on generate. 

This is the results of the process that takes about 15 seconds. 

 


Next, the question becomes, what would the MyHeritage.com image editing apps do to the same damaged image. The damage turns out to too much for MyHeritage. The difference of course is that Adobe Photoshop is a professional level photo editing program. Here is what MyHeritage was able to do with the damaged photo. 


What if I take the MyHeritage.com improvements back into Adobe Photoshop?


This is the photo using both the MyHeritage.com photo tools and the Adobe Photoshop BETA version to edit the photo. There is a small white dot on his mouth. Can that be repaired in Photoshop?


I don't know if you can tell, but the spot is gone with the Spot Healing Tool from Adobe. Now, MyHeritage.com has recently released a new mobile app that has the photo tools from the main website. The app is called Reimagine. I shared the image with my iPhone and used the Reimagine app to repair, enhance, and colorize the image. The app had all the same tools, with the same results as the desktop web-based program. 

The key here is that the enhancement and colorization would not be happening in Photoshop.
