Randy and Santa Claus (In Color!) -- (Not So) Wordless Wednesday #886

 This is one of the priceless (to me) photographs in my computer file folders:

The image above was created Google Gemini 2.5 Flash received after I asked it to sharpen, enhance and colorize the sepia image below:

I also asked OpenAI ChatGPT5 to sharpen, enhance and colorize the sepia image, and received this image:

I also asked X Grok 3 to do the same task and it failed - it only colored Santa's cap red! 

When the MyHeritage Photo tool to enhance and colorize images, I  uploaded the sepia photograph, and the resulting "colorized" image had Santa wearing a black costume and hat.  

This photograph is a part of my family history.  It was about 1949 and my mother took me to the Marston's Department Store in downtown San Diego to see Santa Claus.  It was a yearly event for about ten years, but the above is the only photograph I have.
