Use a source-linked review record, resolve specific objections and set a successful-attempt ceiling. A majority liking a sharper image does not establish that it preserves a familiar person's expression. ## Define this purchase decision A family approval problem can become a spending problem when each new relative requests another generation. Establish who recognises the person and who decides the intended style before processing. An identity objection deserves separate treatment from a preference for warmer tones, stronger contrast or colourisation. This guide supplies a paid-rerun approval record, not a quality score for every photograph. Keep the source and current candidate visible together. Ask each reviewer to name the changed region and explain whether it affects recognition or merely presentation. A precise objection can lead to a better source or a controlled manual edit; a vague dislike cannot define a reliable rerun. ## Worked decision example Worked example: three relatives review one repaired portrait. Two like its contrast; one who knew the person identifies a changed asymmetrical smile. The approval record marks identity rejected and style liked. The result is not accepted simply because two votes beat one. The protected expression controls this task. The family allows one extra successful attempt only if an improved source or supported setting gives a clear reason. If the second output also changes the smile, the record routes the photo to manual discussion or retains the source. Two completed attempts can use two credits even though zero outputs are approved. This is an editorial decision example, not observed product performance. ## Complete the decision worksheet - Reviewer field: name the person responsible for recognition and the person choosing the delivery style. One person may fill both roles, but record the roles explicitly. - Objection field: region, source evidence and consequence. Separate identity change, text error, repair defect and aesthetic preference. - Next-action field: accept, request a better source, authorise one bounded rerun, seek controlled manual work or retain the original. - Approval field: exact saved version, reviewer and date. A later alternative must receive its own review before replacing the approved family copy. ## Resolve the buyer objections What if relatives disagree about colourisation? Preserve the agreed non-colourised copy and treat an interpreted colour alternative as optional scope. Its cost belongs to the requested version, not to fixing a failure of the original. Clearly name both versions so the family can choose which to use. Can I ask the app to enforce all reviewer comments exactly? Only use supported controls, and do not claim they guarantee pixel-level preservation. Some requests call for selective manual editing. Buying repeated broad attempts is not a substitute for a tool that can control the specific protected region. ## Keep a useful decision record Give reviewers the exact same source and candidate files, rather than screenshots with different crops or display sizes. Ask them to distinguish a known recognition cue from a general impression. A person who remembers the subject's uneven smile supplies a useful specific check; saying the image looks more modern is a style observation. Keep both in the record without confusing their roles. If the source itself is unclear, mark that anchor uncertain and do not invent a preservation claim. When a reviewer approves a later version, record which earlier version it replaces in the sharing folder. This prevents an approval conversation from turning into several competing, differently generated family originals. ## Choose the next action Before starting another paid normal restoration, check whether the completed result offers the included Photo Correction action. If it is available for that result, inspect its scope and use the available one-time correction for a specific supported adjustment. It is a separate workflow from a new paid generation; it does not promise unlimited changes or exact recovery of missing detail. Run the initial trial, save it and gather the specific approval before purchasing more attempts. Check the actual balance and displayed charge, then authorise a rerun only when the record defines its purpose and maximum spending. Keep rejected experiments clearly labelled. When an output passes, finish delivery and back it up within ten days. Record that accepted version rather than continuing to search for a prettier alternative. A family project needs a clear approved file and an honest source record, not an endless sequence of increasingly persuasive interpretations. ## FAQs Should approval be a majority vote? A majority preference cannot override a documented identity change when identity preservation is the task. Use explicit protected-detail rules. Can I approve a style and still reject the result? Yes. Better contrast or warmth can coexist with an unacceptable changed face or text region. Do unapproved completed versions still use credits? Successful processing attempts can use credits even if no relative accepts the appearance. ## Sources Preservation and technical guidance reviewed for this article. - RestoreBunny: [Current credit-pack pricing]() - RestoreBunny: [Credits, outputs and privacy FAQ]() - RestoreBunny: [Credit purchase and technical issue policy]() - RestoreBunny: [Image processing and retention policy]() ## Related - [Photo Restoration Quality Checklist: What to Check Before Saving]() - [How to Record a Family Photo Interview and Keep the Stories Linked]() - [Review supported photo restoration]() - [Start an eligible restoration trial]() - [Check current credit-pack terms]() - [Use the family archive handoff worksheets]() ## Ready to restore your photos?
