Fix Faded Photo Colors with AI

How it works

1. 1

   Upload your faded photo

   Click the upload area and select your faded photo. This works especially well for old prints that have been exposed to sunlight, overexposed digital photos, or scanned images that lost color over the years. The AI handles various types of fading including uniform color loss, uneven sun damage, and contrast degradation.

   Expect: Simple faded photos (uniform color loss): 15-20 seconds. Complex cases (uneven fading, severe damage): 30-45 seconds and may need refinement for specific areas.

   Describe what you want restored

   Type your instruction in plain language. Be specific about what's faded: 'restore the faded blue sky and green grass colors' works better than just 'fix colors.' Mention if you want the original vibrant look, increased contrast, or specific color areas brought back. The AI understands natural descriptions without needing you to select anything. You can describe overall restoration or focus on specific color ranges that have faded most.

   Tip: Mention specific colors that have faded (blue sky, green foliage, skin tones) for more targeted restoration rather than generic 'fix everything' instructions.

   Review the restored result

   Check if the colors look natural and vibrant without being oversaturated. Zoom in on faces to ensure skin tones weren't overcorrected. Look at sky and foliage areas which often show the most fading. Compare details in shadow areas to make sure contrast increase didn't lose dark detail.
