    A technique to physically restore damaged paintings with artificial intelligence in hours rather than months has been developed.
    The method involves printing a transparent "mask" containing thousands of precisely colour-matched regions that conservators can apply directly to an original artwork.
    These masks can be removed whenever needed making the process reversible so it does not permanently change a painting.
    To restore a painting, traditional cleaning is used to remove any previous restoration attempts.
    After scanning the cleaned painting, AI algorithms analyse the image and create a virtual restoration that "predicts" what the damaged areas should look like based on the surrounding paint and the artist's style.
    Custom software maps every region needing repair and determines the exact colours required for each spot.
    The software then translates that information into a two-layer polymer mask printed on thin films.
    One layer provides colour, while a white backing layer ensures the full colour spectrum reproduces accurately on the painting's surface.
    The two layers must align precisely to produce an accurate restoration.
    High-fidelity inkjet printers produce the mask layers which are aligned by hand.
    They adhere to the painting using conservation-grade varnish spray.
    Future removal of the mask can be done without damaging the original work.

    A technique to physically restore damaged paintings with artificial intelligence in hours rather than months has been developed.
    The method involves printing a transparent "mask" containing thousands of precisely colour-matched regions that conservators can apply directly to an original artwork.
    These masks can be removed whenever needed making the process reversible so it does not permanently change a painting.
    To restore a painting, traditional cleaning is used to remove any previous restoration attempts.
    After scanning the cleaned painting, AI algorithms analyse the image and create a virtual restoration that "predicts" what the damaged areas should look like based on the surrounding paint and the artist's style.
    Custom software maps every region needing repair and determines the exact colours required for each spot.
    The software then translates that information into a two-layer polymer mask printed on thin films.
    One layer provides colour, while a white backing layer ensures the full colour spectrum reproduces accurately on the painting's surface.
    The two layers must align precisely to produce an accurate restoration.
    High-fidelity inkjet printers produce the mask layers which are aligned by hand.
    They adhere to the painting using conservation-grade varnish spray.
    Future removal of the mask can be done without damaging the original work.

    OPS:A diagnostic map of damage to a painting that is to be repaired with the new method. Green indicates complete breaks in the wood panel, red marks significant paint cracking while blue highlights major areas of paint loss. Pink identifies minor damage such as scratches.
