What damage can photo restoration repair?
Use the clearest scan or photo available. Avoid strong reflections and crop out the frame when possible, so the damaged image receives most of the detail.
Fading and low contrast
Recover a more balanced range of light and dark areas while keeping the softer look common in older prints.
Scratches, stains, and tears
Reduce surface marks and rebuild small damaged areas using nearby clothing, skin, and background detail.
Soft faces and lost color
Improve facial clarity and color balance without changing age, expression, or recognizable features.

Compare faces, clothing, jewelry, and period details with the source before treating reconstructed areas as accurate.
Quality and responsible use
