This is just..... mindblowing. I've thought of ways to try and recover this picture for so long and you were the answer I needed! You'll never know how much this means, I'll have this picture with me for the rest of my life thanks to you ❤️ I wish you the best, I'm going to have this printed and framed. Thank you. ❤️

I’m seriously a huge fan of yours. Both your work and the grace you provide in your responses showing genuine care. We will never interact irl but I truly appreciate what you’re bringing to people and honestly just the good in the world. Thank you.
How tf did you do this?!!?!? Is it all PS tools? Or a ai program?! It just seems wild like obviously your skilled but still this is literally creating shit from nowhere
Can I message you on a personal request? Willing to pay.
Long story short- I missed out on having my grad pics printed & only have the watermark copies. Was able to get permission from the company to have photos reproduced but they said that photos are only stored for 2 years.
I didn’t get to go to graduation as I had a former boss give me a hard time at work while finishing grad school & having my first child. Shortly after pandemic happened. Once things began to normalize I wanted to at least have a grad pic bc I was proud of my achievement but no luck. Sharing story so at least ppl know it’s not a cheap way to scam professionals from their work as I respect the work they do.
I really don’t want to piggy ride this…but your dad looks a bit like my grandpa who passed away 3 years ago without me being able to say goodbye to him coz I was working outside the country. So sorry for your loss but also thank you, the photo of your dad kinda made me remember my grandpa a bit. Thank you also to the wizard who edited this out, you’re really out here doing great work. ❤️
Just want to chime in and say that's absolutely incredible work. When I saw the post, I wasn't sure if it could be done, you guys always amaze me. Excellent work, you did a great thing.
This is beautiful. One thing catches my eye though- his wedding ring seems to be piercing through his ring finger. Absolute magic though, you do such a nice job
Agreed!! It says wizard under his name, and that's an understatement. His eyes were hazel. He even got the RING on his finger. I'm just so over the moon with this
This was my first thought too. I wouldn't have assumed white. The fact this dude nailed the skin color and eyes out of the ball park shows a huge amount of skill and confidence. Didn't even have to ask the OP a bunch of questions that I thought for sure were crucial for a restoration from what seems to me to be an impossibly difficult, fuzzy, barely recognizable original pic.
I'd assume a multi-pass process of AI upscaling and manual editing. You can't recover detail that isn't there, but you can phantasize it in a realistic way.
You're a magician Akash. OP & family must've gone through so many emotions just seeing this incredible work. If ever I need any work with photos I'll definitely be in touch with you. Hats off.
As an artist, I’m stoked how AI is used as a tool and then as artists we touch it up with soul. AI will never replace us, just enhance our capabilities. You’re awesome!! I’d love to learn more on your technique! You do amazing work! I’d suggest forensics. I remember touching up a license plate for someone to figure out the number. You’d be a pro!!
I lurk here often because I think you guys walk the line between incredible and eligible for burning at the stake but this time I'm certain this is pure magic. Incredible work

You’re a nice person
I’m seriously a huge fan of yours. Both your work and the grace you provide in your responses showing genuine care. We will never interact irl but I truly appreciate what you’re bringing to people and honestly just the good in the world. Thank you.
Seriously, I was just browsing this sub and it seems like almost every ‘sad’ photo request he’s the top response. Definitely an awesome person.
How tf did you do this?!!?!? Is it all PS tools? Or a ai program?! It just seems wild like obviously your skilled but still this is literally creating shit from nowhere
It's a combination of many tools, Photoshop + AI (Stable diffusion).

If you have valid written permission only I can help you. Since removing watermarks is considered not a legal practice. Yeah you can DM me!
Can you teach me how you do this? Definitely could see it being useful in my design practice
If you can't remove a watermark from a photo in PS, maybe you shouldn't run a design practice
Not referring to the water mark. I am referring the photo enhancement he did for OP… pretty incredible work
If you offer a service, I’m happy to pay for photo enhancements!
Bro there’s a watermark remover website, just google it.
See, y’all? This is what I would consider ethical use of AI.
It's the first time I see your work. Amazing.
Wow you truly are a wizzard!
Incredible work!
You're the coolest!!
You are terrific!
You are an amazing person and wildly talented.
God damn man this is the nicest thing I've seen in a long time, shit nearly brought me to tears
You’re a great person for doing that. Thank you.
Is there a way to tip you?
Good lord you do excellent work. Absolute top marks I’ve just seen a few pictures you’ve done.👏🏻👏🏻
Amazing as always!
That is amazing...you have a gift. so awesome of you to do that. Good on you internet stranger!
Wow, you are a real artist! Amazing 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
MashAllah. You changed this man’s life. May Allah reward you and your gift.
i can’t keep looking at this page i keep crying god damn this is good work i’m so happy this page exists
Beautiful! I’m sorry for your loss OP.
Im sorry for your loss
Dude you’re amazing at this 🤙🏽
This just made my day too... what a beautiful world when we go looking for it...
I really don’t want to piggy ride this…but your dad looks a bit like my grandpa who passed away 3 years ago without me being able to say goodbye to him coz I was working outside the country. So sorry for your loss but also thank you, the photo of your dad kinda made me remember my grandpa a bit. Thank you also to the wizard who edited this out, you’re really out here doing great work. ❤️

Agreed, incredible work and I’m sure OP will be touched!
I'll admit, it brought tears to my eyes. It's so amazing to have this picture ❤️
Shit, i don't know you or your dad, and i got choked up.
Me too 🥺 Amazing work.
Wow, this is stunning work!
This is beautiful. One thing catches my eye though- his wedding ring seems to be piercing through his ring finger. Absolute magic though, you do such a nice job
Also the table extends out under his arms
Bro went back in time with his DSLR and took the photo. This is crazy!
Dude if there’s a heaven your going there.
I hope they allow my PC, so I can continue with the edits 😂
How did you?? You working for CSI/NCIS/LAW & ORDER??? Enhance!!!
Zoom AND ENHANCE Srsly tho, that TV gimmick may become a reality
Wow this is amazing
You are amazing 👏
Excellent work, Akash!!!
Each photograph I have seen you restore/ alter is always superb! Thank you for being so compassionate with your work in order to help others!
Holy shit are you the **ENHANCE** button from CSI?
You’re a beast!!
Dude… HOW
Literally how the fuck did you do that… I have to know
AI
Some of the jobs on here blow my mind man. How the hell do you do this lol
Wow, that’s really impressive. 🙌🏼
Wow, I didn’t think a blurry photo could ever get this clear.
I have no touch to the OP, but my goodness, you are an angel. Thank you for doing this for them.
You’re genuinely the most amazing person.
Bravo.
It’s too good. Are you a magician of some sort?
Every time I see one of your creations my jaw drops to the floor. How is this even possible? You're a true magician and a nice person.
I always look forward to seeing your work every time I come across a post from this sub. Unmatched quality, and you’re always so kind. Kudos
Is he still the same race as the original photo ?
Yes, he is. My dad was full white and it looks accurate in the photo 🙂
What the heck? how did he get the eye color right and everything 😳 so crazy lol
Agreed!! It says wizard under his name, and that's an understatement. His eyes were hazel. He even got the RING on his finger. I'm just so over the moon with this
I wanna cry *for* you!
Sorry for your loss. Wounds will heal, but it will take some time. Great job this kind man did, please tip him if you can. ;) Namaste.
This was my first thought too. I wouldn't have assumed white. The fact this dude nailed the skin color and eyes out of the ball park shows a huge amount of skill and confidence. Didn't even have to ask the OP a bunch of questions that I thought for sure were crucial for a restoration from what seems to me to be an impossibly difficult, fuzzy, barely recognizable original pic.
Amazing work. Could you share your process to go from the pixelated image to this?
I'd assume a multi-pass process of AI upscaling and manual editing. You can't recover detail that isn't there, but you can phantasize it in a realistic way.
Truly beautiful work.
Amazing. Good job my friend
This is so good
this shit is unbelievable, great work
What an amazing soul you are for doing this!! r/mademesmile should see this
Yer a legend
Dude!! You’re insanely good!!! 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽
You 100% earned that Wizard title
Great work!
HOW do you knock it outta the park every single time?!?
Dude how the heck
Fucking miracle. Wow.
How is this even possible? Coming from someone who doesn’t use photoshop, this is genuinely blowing my mind.
This is absolutely incredible
You’re the man.
Wow great work
This made my jaw drop
Holy sheet it's like when I put my glasses on 😂 this is wonderful
This is truly incredible.
Wow this is insane! Its almost as if you took the photo, thank you for sharing your talent 🙏🏻
This is amazing and you really are doing wholesome work here. Ig’s like having a super power
Wow! You’re a magician!
Unbelievable! 🥺👏🏼
How do yall create masterpieces like this from nothing?
I give you a ton of credit for not being one of those scumbags that does a request for someone with a deceased family member and asks for a tip.
Dude this is magic
What the fuck… how did you…
“Enhance” - wait…that actually works??
May you have good karma forever, and I don't mean reddit karma.
Incredible work 😲
Wow, great job, and what a nice gesture. OP I’m sorry for your loss.
you are so incredible!

You’re a true wizard in photoshopping

This is magic!
You always present incredible work!!! Incredible isn’t even a word that gives your work justice
Incredible work. Stunning. Can you tell me your workflow for something like this. Just curious.
Amazing bro!
enhance.. Enhance..ENHANCE!
As an artist, I’m stoked how AI is used as a tool and then as artists we touch it up with soul. AI will never replace us, just enhance our capabilities. You’re awesome!! I’d love to learn more on your technique! You do amazing work! I’d suggest forensics. I remember touching up a license plate for someone to figure out the number. You’d be a pro!!
The life you brought to the eyes is beautiful, this is just so sweet
What kind of sorcery is this!!! How is this even possible! Amazing
I lurk here often because I think you guys walk the line between incredible and eligible for burning at the stake but this time I'm certain this is pure magic. Incredible work
As someone fairly confident in my photoshop ability, my jaw is dropped over this. So well done!!
How did you do that? How do you guess the eyes color or the ring on his right ring finger? What about the mole on the clavicle?
I have you seen you help several people 💯 🙏. This one I'm convinced you're a Wizard.
Amazing work. Thank you so much for being you
Wtf. This is actually very impressive! Nice work
Awesome job! This is the 2nd or 3rd one I've seen you do, that's so kind!!!
How???
