What is the appropriate course of action if Restore AI makes undesired changes to the appearance and structure of people’s faces?
Also, is there a way to change the default prompt BEFORE the restoration begins?

I, too, have found undesired changes to the appearance of restored faces, so my hope of bringing life back to old family photos with Restore AI remains a hope for future releases.

Good job to you at the On1 software upgrade department! I’ve only touched the “Restore” a few times, However the few times I have used it saved me so much time! And of course we all know that time is one of the biggest factors when making projects come to life….
I must say I’am so glad I found, and use On1 exclusive now! Saving more space on my computer by dumping those older software programs I won’t mention…

I’ve used on1 since the days of Genuine Fractals and am very glad we stayed together all these years. The new RestoreAI is amazing even though it has some strange ideas (especially with some faces) that I have adjusted and in the last week I have done over 100 photos from images that are over 90 years. best part was how accurate RestoreAI is with color and backgrounds. I thank you for developing this as I teach other photographers the art of on1. Thank you.
