Quick answers

What kinds of damage can the restore handle in a single pass — scratches, tears, fading?

Most edits fix scratches, fading, light tears, and color shifts in one pass. For heavy water damage or missing sections, run a second pass with 'reconstruct the torn corner using the surrounding detail.' Faces are preserved by default. Each pass takes 20-45 seconds.
