âold-timerâ I am most likely one of the youngest here. 
However, seeing that the silly ole bugger @Lazurus_aka_Virgil is on his deathbed touching up the homehelp as much as he can get away with (and good for him ), he most likely has more lead in his pencil than you have ever had at any point in your life.

I never said you hadâŚ. I just said you used an aggressive tone which is completely different to how you write on the forum
I havenât had a DM from you because you are not able to send me one after our last DM conversation about what you did in a topic on here
I wasnât insinuating anything about that other then you have stated yourself you should have stayed away after your account deletion because of how the forum makes you feel

I said you were a muppet which for me means silly I donât think thatâs aggressive.
maybe I missunderstood the quote below as to me it implies that I am aggressive in my DMâs to you and as far as I checked I cannot see this.
But I thought we agreed to disagree amicably I donât know why you blocked me but I definitely sent you a DM on the 22nd of January.
Oh my understanding that if you are blocked you cannot send one to another user because a message comes up saying that youâre blocked from sending a message to this user.
Yes you are correct but my wife and daughters were in Japan for a month and so I was a bit bored at home so I thought Iâd come back here and say hi to people. Now they are back I will be spending a lot less time here as I will be spending a lot more time with them helping them with their final exams at school. Iâve even reduced my trips to Ukraine to focus on this.
Over the past the years I have picked up the Russian language quite well and partly Ukrainian, but most ukrainians speak Russian from my experience.
So, I thought I would share a bit of insight into what was actually going on, not to make myself look important or anything like that, but just to try and balance some of the outlandish and exaggerated views on the forums.,
However, it backfired on MikIâs thread when I posted that video of him throwing the girl out later (I deleted it) as I realised it was reactionary on my part I know you didnât like my actions and so I decided to speak to him on chat and he explained the situation which was very valid and that is when I deleted the video and put up a post and saying that I would want to be putting up so many translations now as I donât think itâs my responsibility to be fair.
I really feel that this is a big misunderstanding between us and Iâm sorry if you feel aggrieved in some way, but I never intended for one moment to make you feel like that and if we can find some middle ground here I think we would both feel a lot better about the situation.

Man, in that particular situation, the pic youâve used to play with, wasnât at all a good one.
Kendall was lying down on the bed, resting her face on a pillow ( or similar). As the pic was taken from a side, off course that not all her face was visible. In few of the pics, the app was used only for the exposure. Them ones are ok ish.
The problem was when you cropped her face and used for different pose pics ( the other ones). Thatâs when it totally changed her appearance. And in a very bad way.
Like this pic
This what i was reffering to. Everything is changed. Look at her chin, nose, etc. Nothing to do with the reality.
Look at her face, chin, nose, etc
The difference is huge
So again, to be more clear, i never referred to this pic
It is still not the reality, but that bad (or far) like the other ones. And thatâs because her position wasnât changed

It absolutely DID NOT change her face. Forget about what picture I chose or why I chose it. That is COMPLETELY irrelevant. Why are you trying to divert attention away from what I asked you? Why wonât you answer my question? Compare the three pictures I posted and tell me they are not the same face.
Man, how come it didnât changed her face, look again at her face
And this AI generated pic
Nose shape = changed. Chin shape/length = changed
Face shape/length = changed

Unless you have the RAW data of an image you never can say that because you do not know what your program / tool did. How can you compare all the parameters from before / after? It is impossible unless you have the RAW image data
I also think you confuse the brightness of a photo with the exposure
The exposure you canât change without having the RAW image data of a photo. Tools or programs can try by estimating certain values but as I said above never without making any changes to the rest of the parameters a well.
Good programs can try it when you enter certain paramaters like the type of the camera used, the type of lens, the aperture size and time and the ISO sensitivity.
The brightness however is easily to change by simply replacing each pixel of a photo with its next brighter one. This will make the photo as a whole more bright without altering any other information.
Now about the use of that AI tool:
Most AI tools nowadays are still bad with recognizing faces not facing the camera. They rely on certain paramaters to determine where a face starts and where it ends. This works pretty well as long as the face is facing the camera. The problems start when a face is only partially visible because the person is not facing the camera. In that case tools and programs interpret the information wrong and (like in your example) the face gets distorted with sharp edges and does no longer look like the face of the original person.
So for the future if you only want to make a photo brighter just use any program and just change the brightness and leave all other parameters as they are.
There is no AI needed for that at all.
I made the photos the same size (pixels) and tried to align them the same way and layed them on top of each other.
While the chin / shape of lower face and mouth are still okay the big problems start when it comes to the nose and eyes. The proportions here are totally out of bounds: Face is too long, nose too long and narrow and the eyes are too high:

You just refuse to understand. Her face DOES NOT get changed during the generative process. It only fills in the foreground and background around her face. It NEVER TOUCHES her face, or any picture I give it, at all. As Iâve said at least twice before, if it changed the picture I gave it, I would never use it.
And, youâre still diverting attention away from the question Iâve asked you at least three times. Why wonât you answer my question, John? I looked at all the pictures you posted. I asked you to show me the same courtesy. Compare the three pictures I posted before, and tell me the faces are not the same.
I seriously donât understand what you mean nor what the question is. I showed you time after time (using a corect full frontal pic) how her face looks like in reality. There is a big difference between the reality and the pic AI generated ( eyes, nose, chin, face shape). More than likely, because in the pic used, her full face is not visible, so the app actually generated a face not just enhanced a existing one. That face is generated by the app, itâs not her actual face.
I donât know how to explain it differently.
Letâs try something. Take this pic with her full face and do the same things as you did with the other pic. Letâs see the result
How do you know that? Did you you see the log files what your tool did? This is just an assumption you have no proof for at allâŚ

This is what my AI tool does. And yes I am totally aware that the face is changed. I do not insist that the tool does not

To be honest, in this case, the result is aâŚwow
Maybe because the original pic had a much better quality ?
Could be. Took almost one minute to render so it is truely generated.
