What’s different
Point-and-shoot cameras and quick snapshots left many baby photos slightly blurry. Restoration sharpens eyes, hair and expressions while skin stays natural.
Drugstore prints from the 1970s through the 1990s often fade or drift toward orange. Restoration brings back contrast and detail so the photo looks closer to the day it was taken.
Photos from early digital cameras and phones are often small. Restoration enhances and enlarges low-resolution files as well as scanned prints.
Graduation slideshows, wedding then-and-now displays and milestone birthdays all need a clean photo. Restore it once and reuse the file anywhere.
Recommended settings
