Great if you don't care about fidelity Yes, it makes a nice looking face out of pixel garbage, but there is no fidelity to reality, nor can there be. When I compare an enhanced face from a poor photo using this software to the same person from a quality photo there are major differences. An old boss of mine called this making chicken salad out of chicken crap.

There is no better option than Face26, N O N E.... I honestly do NOT know what I would do w/o Face26. It is THE best option out there to bring your blurry/out of focus/too tiny to use older photos. I highly recommend this app and have used it so often I guess you could call me a huge fan. They have brought life to so many once thought "hopeless/useless" photos in my collection. Now I look for photos that "need help" as I am confident Face 26 will do the job.

At first look At first look, the colorizing is amazing. But upon closer examination, there can be many areas that are "incorrect" and there appears to be no way to "correct" them. Update: The Enhance function is incredibly good [I didn't use it on the first colorizing try]. It made the colorizing come out better, and by more closely examining the final options (from what I learned the first time), I made a better choice for the final version, and I was extremely pleased with the result. I will probably sign up for a larger paid package sometime soon when I feel ready to dive into more of the older damaged and B&W photos in my collection. One suggestion: The colorizing preview option thumbnails should be significantly larger to scrutinize the differences and make the best final choice.

CHAMPIONSHIP REUNION We recently gathered at Elmhurst University to honor our Coach and the Championship teams he coached more than 40 years ago. The school won it's only two championships during that era. No clean photo of teh team exists at the school and the picture in the trophy case as deteriorated beyond repair. Championship plaques were made but the picture was a bit blurry and we were hoping to provide the school with a cleaner version. This seems to do the trick . . . thank you.
