I have scaled my images to a lower size, but after scaling and deleting original files

. I noticed my images have different colors than the original, are more gradient, and sometimes gray. I have been years postponing and waiting for a solution. Until I though to reach help from adobe community. Please help 🙂

A safe compressor for jpgs is JPEGmini, but not free.

I've also seen there are now several sites that do it free.

The compressor is not my problem, it is very good if I use other settings in it, it is not my concern to choose a new one. I want to fix my corrupted images. 😥

The day may come indeed that AI can fix this 🙂

For now you can do your best on the faces and let Generative Fill do everything around it 😉

Can you still do this with a good original?

If so, tell us how you do that.

Hiii Signfeld thank you for your reply, yes I remember how I did that. I used a program called riot version 0.62.

(https://codecpack.co/download/RIOT.html)

This program is the best to resize images, to save space. According to the websites.

Settings I used: batch processing

1)add image 2) open 3) additional tasks 4) resize to size (300k) 5) start

Here are detailed images

 All the details I did I can give  just please help me fix those images. Thank you in advance. Adobe community my last hope. Or I will have to wait years for ai :).

Thx. I thought you did it in Photoshop...

Trying to be serious and funny, your pics look like you enlarged a thumbnail 1000% and then saved it as a GIF or PNG with just a few dozen colors.

I don't know if anything can be done. Topaz Gigapixel can sometimes turn bad pics into ok/good ones. Maybe some blurring.

Maybe screencapping them at a small size where they look kind of ok, then enlarge in Gigapixel or similar.
