Restoration

Old Photo Restoration Workflow

Repair damage, restore faces, optionally colourise, then upscale.

Start at step one →
1

Upload a scan

Scanning beats photographing the print; 300 DPI or better.

2

Repair damage

Brush over scratches and missing areas.

3

Restore faces

Fidelity first, so features stay true.

4

Optional colourisation

Inferred colour for black-and-white originals.

5

Upscale and export

2x upscale to a printable size.

About this workflow

Order matters when restoring a photo: repair damage before restoring faces, or the face model treats scratches as facial detail and sharpens them. This workflow fixes that order for you.
