Do I need to mark the tear before describing the repair?
No! For obvious tears, just describe what you want: 'repair the tear.' The AI recognizes tear patterns—the edges, color differences, and disruption to image content are distinctive.
Can AI repair a photo torn into multiple pieces?
Yes! Scan all the pieces together, arranged as closely as possible to their original positions. The AI can identify fragment edges and merge them, filling in any gaps. Works best when pieces are well-aligned and the gap between them is minimal. Large missing sections between fragments will be reconstructed based on context.
What if a face was in the torn-away section?
The AI can reconstruct faces, but results depend on how much information remains. If half a face is missing, expect a plausible but not perfect reconstruction—the AI cannot know exactly what the person looked like. For faces, do basic repair first, then refine with specific guidance about the person if you have that information.
How should I scan torn photo pieces?
Scan all pieces together on one scan, positioned as close to their original arrangement as possible. Keep gaps between pieces minimal. Ensure even lighting without shadows falling between fragments. Higher resolution helps the AI see fine details at tear edges.
Can tears and other damage be fixed at the same time?
Yes! Use a comprehensive prompt like 'repair the tears, remove scratches, and restore faded colors.' The AI handles multiple issues simultaneously. For complex photos with many problems, you might get better results addressing the tear first, then other damage in a second pass.
