Hey, if identical twins want to go to a bar to pick up other identical twins, who might even be their own siblings, and if they all want to drink beer in cocktail glasses, and if their bar stool and their legs somehow inhabit intertwined universes, and if they all shop at the same ladies’ shoe shop, it doesn’t make them bad AI people.

Well, put it that way...

I've tried the new Restore AI function in ON1 Photo RAW with an analog
shot that had been badly messed up in the lab. Awfully grainy, a strange
veil, odd colours...

The shot is of our car at the time, in the port of Boulogne, with
Michael on the passenger seat. The repair of the lab problem is
absolutely stunning. Grain and veil are gone, the colours are fine, if
only there weren't now two people sitting in the car who don't remotely
look like Michael.
