Hot take: I called AI image upscaling a gimmick until it saved 40 hours of my mom's photo albums
Six months ago my mom handed me two shoeboxes of scanned family photos from the 60s, all blurry and tiny, and I figured AI upscaling would just smear them into wax figures. I tried one old tool on a picture of my grandpa in Detroit in 1968 and it gave him a plastic face, so I wrote the whole thing off. Then last week a coworker pushed me to try a newer model on the same shot, and the grain, the cracks in the porch, even the license plate on his Chevy came back sharp. I ended up running 300 pictures through it over two weekends, and my mom cried at the ones of her wedding. Anyone got a tool that handles old color film without turning skin orange? That part still looks weird.
