HD colored picture of Solvay 1927 for poster

[fluidistic]

Hey people, I finally lost my job, i.e. I finally have a few minutes to live my life. I have wanted to have a poster in my room of the Solvay 1927 picture in HD and the colored version. From what I've seen on the Internet, there seem to be different pictures of the scene, probably taken a few seconds of interval. And there is only 1 of the pictures that is popularized as a color version on the web. Unfortunately, I much prefer the other picture, for which I have found no colorized version.

I am therefore looking for a HD version, something like https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e9/Solvay_conference_1927_(group_photograph)_bw.jpg but without the scratches/damages of the picture, which would ruin the picture on a wall, possibly in black and white. Then I would use an open source software that leave no watermark and leave the high quality on (apparently a luxury to find), I am guessing something like https://github.com/jantic/DeOldify.

I already could color the picture, but not in HD and the default color was way too blueish.

….Then take a head shot here: https://www.myheritage.com/
“Deep Nostalgia” (creates an animation based on a still photograph).

The original still .png was 1117x1897 (shown reduced here),
taken from a zoom of the original-size image from https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Solvay_conference_1927_(color).jpg
(highest quality b/w ? https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/64/Solvay_conference_1927_restored_source.png )

The myheritage-generated .mp4 was 512x512 @ 20fps.
With ffpmeg, I made this animated .gif as 200x200 @ 5 fps for upload here.

Apropos earlier posts, my paternal great-grandma claimed relation to the person in the light suit standing near the center of this photo. The man to his right married my maternal grandma's cousin after emigrating to the US. My mother and now my older sister keep track of family connections.

I know my father was worried that I inherited cousin Charles's spine problems, but improved health care, diet and exercise helped me grow reasonably straight with only minor 'hunchback'.

I wonder which scientists and EE's in this 1921 photo also appear later at Solvay?

Sounds like a challenge problem for AI facial-recognition. ?

Like I said, this version of the photo is not the one I like (and to which I referred). In your version, Pauli isn't looking at the camera, Einstein's fingers aren't as nice as in the B&W photo I linked, and the building/ground background has been cropped in your version.

I've never seen this. I saw a Dirac photo where all his class mates were in a group photo a little like this. When he was on his Engineering placement.

What was your job and why do you not have long left in your life?

I ain't having good success with that AI coloring.


I guess I will take it anyway. I notice that there's probably a higher quality version, but can only be ordered from a Zurich website, not free.

That's cool. A few stories in that picture.
