What it does
Every restoration does all three
Repair damage
Repair scratches, cracks, dust, stains and glare from scans of printed photos, designed to keep the people, clothing, background and framing as they are.
Keep the original colors
Black-and-white and sepia photos stay that way. Turn on Add color for plausible color (2 more credits), and check it against what you know.
Sharpen and add resolution
Get a sharper copy 4800 pixels on the long side, ready for printing. It's AI, so compare every face with your original.
