AI is a remarkable tool. Look at this old photograph from the village’s archive – it’s clearly the Dolphin. It’s very atmospheric, but obviously from another age. Below it is the same image having been processed by AI – the work of a couple of keyboard clicks. Now it almost looks like a photograph taken yesterday. Perhaps the only real clue is the struggle the software had with the donkey’s head ! He was probably moving as the original exposure was made.
You can see more (as yet) unmodified old photos of the village here
