1) It's very slow...go have a cup of coffee while it works.
2) You may have to tweak the prompts (as he suggests) to keep the facial features as close as possible to the original...not sure how "off" this one is.
3) I only did his steps shown through the first minute of the video. I don't have the "full" Photoshop which he used for his final steps.
4) I used palette.fm & Photoshop Elements for colorization though apparently ChatGPT will also colorize if that is specified in the prompt.
5) The photo was scaled/enlarged even though I didn't request that.
6) The cap logo was very faint in the original and didn't get picked up in ChatGPT. I "cloned" one in (perhaps clumsily) from a Lew Wendell photo I saw online. |
A scintillatingly brilliant result, thank you so much for your enhancement and the associated information in respect of the method used.
I am very interested in what would be the outcome by the application of the process to the attached image of Charlie Grimm extracted from the 1924 Pittsburgh Pirates team photo.
Grimm was perhaps as well known in his managerial role as he was from his playing role although he did appear in 2166 games and was a starting first-baseman in 14 consecutive seasons. Left-handed he made his debut in 1916 with the Philadelphia Athletics. He appeared in 12 games but all his appearances in the field were as an outfielder. Reappearing 2 seasons later with the St. Louis Cardinals he did not make a great impact in his 42 games mainly as a first-baseman. In 14 games with the 1919 Pittsburgh Pirates his batting average blossomed to a .318 rate. in 1920 he took on the role as the Pirates starting first-baseman, usually batting 7th. In 1921 his slugging average improved by 120 points to .409, setting a career best with 17 triples. In 1922 he set career highs in 154 games played, 649 plate appearances and 593 at bats. In 1923 he moved up 1 position in the batting order as he batted at a career high .345 rate amassing career bests with 194 hits, 99 runs batted in, .480 slugging, 270 total bases and .869 OPS. 1924 turned out to be his final season in Pittsburgh as his OPS+ fell from 126 to 92.
In his first season with the Chicago Cubs he set a career best 10 home runs with a .306 average and also earned MVP consideration for the first time. 1926 saw him reach 30 doubles for the first time in his career. He again batted over .300 from his 6th place in the order in 1927 finishing with a .311 average. In 1928 his OPS+ lowered from 103 to 91. In 1929 he again received MVP voted as he matched his career high 10 home runs. In 1931 after a subpar 1930 season he rebounded finishing a career highest, 8th, in MVP voting. He batted .331 setting a career high with a .393 on-base average. The 1932 season resulted in a career high 42 doubles batting over .300 for the final time in his career. 1933 was his final season as a starter and his average dipped to .247. In 1934 Grimm appeared in 75 games as back-up to ex Phillie Don Hurst. In 1935 appeared just twice before rounding off his playing career in 1936 with 132 at bats.
