"Found my grandfather's military photo folded in his wallet for 40 years. The fold crease ran right across his face. AI removed it perfectly β€” like it was never folded." @grandpa_photo_saved

Common Issues

Restored photo lost its vintage character

Why: AI over-corrected and made it look too modern

Try: restore clarity and fix damage but keep a slight warm vintage tone

Adding 'vintage tone' preserves the era feel while fixing damage

Some damage was missed in the restoration

Why: AI may miss small scratches, stains, or tears in first pass

Try: fix the remaining scratches and damage I've marked with tap markers

Mark each remaining blemish individually for precise repair

Faces look blurry after restoration

Why: Heavily damaged photos lose facial detail that AI has to reconstruct

Try: sharpen the faces while keeping them natural-looking, enhance eye and mouth detail

Facial sharpening works best as a separate pass after damage repair

Colors look wrong after colorization

Why: AI guesses colors based on context and may get era or clothing wrong

Try: adjust the colors β€” the clothing should be darker and the skin warmer

Describe specific colors you remember for the most accurate colorization

Frequently Asked Questions

Can AI remove deep crease marks?

Yes. The AI fills the crease line with reconstructed image data from either side of the crease. Even deep cracks that removed emulsion can be repaired convincingly.

What about creases that cross faces?

These are the most important to fix and the AI handles them well. It reconstructs facial features across the crease line using the surrounding visible face data. Smart mode is recommended for face creases.
