I've been trying out the Krea AI picture enhancing program in the past couple of days. I really like the results. As I mentioned previously, it uses guesswork to create a lot of detail that wasn't in the original image. Sometimes, the faces don't look quite right, but I've figured some ways around that. A key one is to just overlay the new image on top of the old one in Photoshop, and then let more of the old image through.
Anyway, one problem with the "VH-1 Storytellers" albums I've been posting is that many of the cover images are screenshots I took from low-res videos of the TV show episodes. So there's been an unusually large number of poor album covers. I just used this new program to upgrade all the ones I wasn't satisfied with. Here's a list (in no logical order except the order I fixed them), in case you want to redownload them. Or you could just save the photos that show up in my blog posts.
Sorry I don't have download links. But you can just scroll back from the most recent postings and find them all easily enough.

If you have the Natalie Merchant VH1 Storytellers could you post it please? Thanks for all the music and your work on this site!
ReplyDeleteI did that one already. (There are a few I did prior to this recent flood, and that's one of them. Check the Storytellers Series labels for others.)

Thanks for all the great posts! Is there any chance you can make a quick archive of all the upgraded covers and upload it to the cloud and provide a link?
ReplyDeleteThat's not a bad idea. I'll try to get to that in the next day or two. I keep making more!
