From a pro photo restoration artist
I did photo restorations professionally for 25 years, so wanted to see what Kaze could do in less than a minute what had taken me hours to restore. I purchased a subscription for a year, because I wanted to really test it out. On the plus side, the Kaze colorizing is the best I've seen compared with other A.I. programs, SO FAR. For B&W photos, it is limited in some ways - too much blue and tan, which could be improved. Some of the photos look improved, especially with the colorizing, which seemed to give them more "life". However, it is hit-or-miss, as authenticity was lacking for most examples - they looked contrived, and the persons in the photos were often not recognizable. The program apparently has presets for how something SHOULD look, that alters the photo accordingly, making images look too polished to be natural. Don't challenge it too much - I uploaded a very damaged photo, and it did look cleaned up, at first glance. But looking closer, the results were hilarious (well, at least I got some laughs from it), as the majority of the faces of my classmates in the image looked as though they were melting, and a couple whose legs became part of their chairs...very Dali-esque. It isn't psychic, but "tries" to invent what isn't there. The photos that were improved were intact to begin with. All this being said, I wish I had had this resource when I was doing digital photo restorations. I could have used this tool in certain circumstances, and saved a lot of time and work. I'd say try the program's free sample with your photo. I did respond with suggestions in the comments boxes, so perhaps that will help them improve this tool. Better than most I've tried...but still has a long way to go.
