How this work was made
Wedding photo restoration requests peak at parents' 60th/70th birthdays, 50th wedding anniversary (geumhonsik), 60th anniversary (hoehonsik), and when children display their parents' wedding photo at their own wedding.
This work is the color restoration of an 8R black-and-white wedding photo (family marketing consent confirmed). Korean hanbok of 1950s–1980s varied by era. AI auto-restoration generalizes "hanbok = pink/light green" — but Davinci uses period-specific hanbok color data to restore the original colors.
The groom's deep navy or dark blue suit, the bouquet flower colors, the gold of the hanbok hair ornament — all finished naturally with 32-year data. Wedding group photos with extended family on both sides have many faces, and AI smears the rear ones — Davinci restores each face individually.
If family memory of the original colors exists, we apply it directly. If not, we reference period materials and let the family adjust during the preview round.

1928 enlistment group photo restoration — historical color AI can't do
A 100-year-old black-and-white group photo restored through historical research. AI paints roof tiles red and smears faces; Davinci verifies 1920s military 'gukbangsaek' and blue-grey tiles from records to restore not a 'pretty photo' but 'the photo as that era truly was.'
Where AI failed: red-light restoration of a final photo
Halloween party photo where red ambient light flooded clothing and faces into a single tone. AI one-click tools could not separate the colors — restored thread by thread to original color by hand.
1980s friends' trip photo restoration — through discoloration and mold marks
A 1980s group photo of three friends in front of Bulguksa Temple, restored to color. The yellow discoloration overlay and corner mold marks were lifted away, and the clothing colors, skin tones, and temple paintwork brought back to their original look.
