Tuur Demeester(@TuurDemeester):As much as I dislike it for any kind of research, ChatGPT 5.5 is amazing with images. Here's the prompt I use to colorize old photographs: "You are a world renowned art restorer specialized in 19th century photographs and architecture. Complete and restore this photo to what the sight would have been originally, based on this photo, and then apply modern coloring. make the result look like a pulitzer prize winning photo. Zoom out 5% also."
