Here's what a VPN can't protect you from (but you need to use it)

The abbreviation " VPN " has slowly become established among average Internet users, which is certainly good, but the problem is that people have started to see VPN as the ultimate solution to all problems.

How to sharpen, color and clean OLD images? (AI application)

How to sharpen, color and clean OLD images? (AI application)

I like to write about artificial intelligence because I am thrilled with its results every time. I mainly follow the development of AI in the field of image processing and video, which can be seen by the number of articles on this blog.

A few days ago, I discovered an application that improves images and videos using AI, and I was pleasantly surprised by how it works.

I was primarily looking for an app that would restore an old photo I keep that is colorless, has damage, and is blurry.

The result? I can't say that I am very satisfied, but of all the AI ​​tools I tried, this application gave the best results.

This application in the free version offers basically all the tools, and I used the following in this order:

  1. DeScratch
  2. Enhance
  3. Colorize

The only thing that bothered me was that the application only sharpens the blurred face, not the whole image. Maybe it's a mistake in my case, and maybe that's how it actually works.

I can't leave you an example of my picture here due to the privacy violation of the people on it, but you can already see from the publicly available examples that the application works perfectly.

Basically, you will need a free account (created in the app itself) and with that Free account, you have 5 free optimizations. Also, you cannot use the Enhance + tool.

What is important to note is that even with a free account, you can download the image in full resolution and without a watermark - which is a rarity.

Each image is sent to their server for processing and back to you to download. If you want, you can delete all your images from their server after processing. Just tap on your icon in the upper left corner and select "Erase all content".

How to copy text from an image (in 2 clicks, free)

Copying text online is certainly an action we do many times during the day, but the problem is that the text from the image cannot be copied - we have to retype it. However, today there are intelligent OCR tools for image text recognition.

To click on the post or not?

Recently, Facebook has been flooded with " click bait " posts, and sometimes you don't know if there is something really useful behind that post or if it's just collecting clicks. There is a plugin that can partially reveal this to you. Nothing special, it's a Chrome extension called " Photo Zoom ". What does he actually do? Enlarges the image you hover over by loading the source address of the image . How can it help? Clickbait posts often "trick" users into clicking with an image (in addition to terrible headlines). They place those pictures so that only a part of them is visible on the Facebook wall and just enough to interest your potential. If you want to see the whole thing, you have to click on the link, which is their goal.
