I Used Neural Networks Data To Find The Original Colors Of A 120 Years Old Photography

ADVERTISEMENT

I made a trip back through the generations to find a photograph of my great, great, great uncle, Mr Albert.
Like many curious people in the 1870’s, Mr Albert had a keen interest in photography. My family, though, had never seen a photograph of Mr Albert himself. With his huge house now in the possession of my mother’s family, i went in search of the elusive photograph.
Amongst a box containing some broken photography equipment, i discovered three glass plates.
Two of the plates appear to be quite degraded, but one displayed a lot of promise. A hundred year old portrait of Mr Albert and his beloved dog.

To record the plate, I photographed it held up against the window and used Photoshop to get a positive Image, then using the New Neural networks program i was able to find the original colors of the photo and paint them back.
