Works

This is a 640×480 web copy of a film shot from the front of a cable car in San Francisco in 1906. One pass adds colour, removes the scratches and the flicker and adds detail, and the SIGHT lettering on the cable car survives. The far background, the distant people and the building fronts are rebuilt rather than recovered, because there was little detail there to begin with.

a busy city street in 1906 seen from the front of a moving cable car, pedestrians in dark period suits, long coats and bowler hats crossing the tracks, horse-drawn carriages and early open motor cars, a wooden cable car, tall stone and brick buildings, cobblestones and steel rails, spring daylight, natural colour, sharp photographic detail, crisp faces and clothing texture, natural grain, high resolution footage

Notes

The source is resized to the 1440×1088 canvas with lanczos and nothing else, then processed in 960×544 tiles. The prompt names the period, the place, the light and the clothing, and the negative names modern objects.
