Results vary with every source photograph

Clarity depends on the size, focus, contrast and remaining detail in the upload. Severe damage or missing areas can require interpretation; perfect historical or personal accuracy cannot be guaranteed.

A conservative approach

Restore what is there. Respect what cannot be known.

Restoration aims to preserve identity, facial structure, age, expression, clothing, setting, camera angle and composition while reducing dust, scratches, stains, fading and fold marks.

An honest note about severe damage

Where important areas are badly damaged or missing, a digital model may need to interpret details that are no longer visible. Those details cannot be guaranteed to be historically or personally exact.

Perfect accuracy is never promised. If an output appears to change identity or important characteristics, it should be reviewed rather than treated as a faithful record.

Restoration with restrained colour

Add natural-looking colour without pretending it is historical fact.

Careful colourisation draws on visible tones, period context and scene details while preserving the people, place and character of the photograph.

Colourisation is an informed interpretation. The original colours cannot be known or guaranteed, so the restored black-and-white version is retained separately.
