From original print to reviewed result
- 01

Review skin tones, highlights, shadows, and any surviving original colour.
- 04
Download the restored copy while keeping the master scan unchanged.
Prepare the source before restoring
- Use 300 to 600 DPI when scanning small prints so faint detail is retained.
- Turn off automatic scanner colour correction; the restoration needs the most neutral source available.
- If the print has strong red or yellow fading, test one image before processing the entire album.
Before you restore
Can AI restore a photo that has faded almost completely?
It can often improve contrast and reveal faint structure when information remains in the scan. Completely blank or overexposed areas cannot be recovered exactly.
Should I scan a faded black-and-white photo in colour?
Yes. A colour scan can preserve subtle paper tones, stains, and remaining image information that a scanner's black-and-white mode may discard.
