Quick answer

## The short version

Process individually when the next spending decision depends on reviewing the previous result. Use an album batch when prepared files share settings and you can inspect every delivered photo afterward. A batch saves repeated setup; it does not supply a human review or guarantee that all images will pass.

## Define this purchase decision

The key choice is how much money and review work to commit before you see results. In a supervised session you upload one file, inspect its output and decide whether the next file should use the same approach. In a batch, several files are already committed to processing before that review. Both can be useful when the source and scope are suitable.

This decision is especially relevant when your collection mixes ordinary viewing copies with a few irreplaceable portraits. Put the familiar but damaged face through an individual review first. Group predictable files later, rather than using a large batch as the first experiment. The standard RestoreBunny album limit is ten prepared photos; follow any different entitlement shown in your account.

## Worked decision example

Worked example: nine photos need repair. Three include faces that close relatives must approve; six are clearly captured everyday scenes using the same monochrome setting. A supervised plan processes the three individually and stops if the method changes identity. Once the approach is accepted, the six compatible scenes can be one album batch.

A batch-first plan commits all nine successful attempts before the first detailed face review. At one credit per successful restoration that is a nine-credit commitment, although technically failed items have different treatment. The mixed plan can stop after its first problematic result. This example compares review sequence, not measured speed or accuracy differences between the two interfaces.

## Complete the decision worksheet

- Before committing: note which result could change the settings or your willingness to continue. Make those decision-critical files individual trials.
- Before batching: confirm that files share Add Colors and output-format choices. Separate files with conflicting requirements even when the total is below ten.
- During processing: keep the batch ID and local photo inventory together. Do not submit another paid run because a preview is temporarily absent.
- After delivery: reconcile successful, failed and visually rejected files separately. An album-complete status does not replace opening each important image.

## Resolve the buyer objections

Will an individual run necessarily produce a better output? This article makes no such claim. It gives you a review point before the next commitment. Batch choice changes project control and reconciliation, not an established fidelity score.

Can I leave a batch running unattended? The workflow provides progress, but somebody still needs to confirm delivery, inspect the outputs and save them within ten days. If you cannot schedule that review, wait until the family project has a download owner rather than treating unattended completion as delivery.

## Keep a useful decision record

Estimate review effort separately from processing convenience. Nine images with three faces each create twenty-seven important face checks, whether the files arrived individually or in one ZIP. A small batch can still overwhelm a reviewer when faces are tiny or unfamiliar. For a supervised session, have the source and result readily available before deciding on the next attempt. For an album, reserve a delivery block to inspect every selected region and record exceptions. These are editorial planning counts, not measured app performance. Pick the workflow whose review commitments the family can actually honour, and reduce batch size when reconciliation becomes confusing.

## Choose the next action

Choose individual restoration for first experiments, unfamiliar damage or approval-sensitive photos. Choose an album batch after the selected settings have passed a relevant pilot and all files in that batch have compatible needs. Keep the exceptions out of the group until their own decisions are settled.

Open the restoration feature and sign up if needed, check the balance and displayed credits required, then start the chosen scope. Purchase a pack when the pilot supports the remaining plan. Download approved results, mark rejections and continue only after reconciling the first commitment.

## FAQs

Does a batch automatically approve faces?

No. Review every important face and detail in the delivered files yourself.

Is individual processing always more expensive?

The restoration count is based on successful outputs. The relevant difference here is how many attempts you commit before reviewing results.

How many files fit a standard album batch?

The standard account limit is ten prepared photo files. Follow the limit displayed for your own account.
