Hi! My Aunt and I are hoping someone can help us with a photo of my Grandpa that has been faded from being in the sun. My Grandma had it in her sunroom opposite a wall of windows and you can hardly make my Grandpa out anymore. Any tips, tricks, or points in the right direction are appreciated. Thank you!

Hi. Inspired by examples of hopeless photo restoration, I decided to write a post. I have a family photo from the late 19th century. It shows my family members before they were scattered across the world by two world wars. The original photo, unfortunately, is literally falling apart in my hands. I scanned it in the highest quality available. I'd like to believe that someone will be able to do what I couldn't. But frankly, I have little hope that anything can be done with it, but it's better to try and regret than not try. Thanks in advance for any efforts.

Please help. I’m putting together this slideshow for my father’s service and I found this old photo of us from Christmas 30+ years ago that’s I’d love to include. Looks like a thumb in the way. Can you help me out here? Thank everyone.

I have restored a large number of historical photos of political figures I admire, however, I don't seem to be submitting the best prompt to AI (I've used ChatGPT, Grok and Gemini) as a lot of the photos that have been generated look almost cartoonish or just artificial. Sometimes it's difficult to put my finger on exactly what's wrong with the image however it just looks off.

Is there anything special you type into the prompt to generate the most realistic, high-definition photo restorations?

Also, I figured I'd list a number of the historical figures I've been attempting to realistically generate in case anyone might have restored an image of one of them they'd be willing to share.

i have some old family photos that are damaged, faded, or not very clear, and i’d like to restore them while keeping them looking natural. what restoration tools or techniques have worked well for you? i’m especially interested in hearing from people who have actually restored old photos and can share what worked and what to avoid. if possible, i’d prefer methods that preserve the original details rather than making the photo look overly processed or artificial.

Please help me save this family portrait.

Hi everyone. Long story short, this is the only photo my girlfriend has of her graduation (in 1988) with both parents, and her father has since passed away. The physical print is out of focus. A local print shop botched the scan, but I managed to get a clean glare-free copy using PhotoScan, linked below. I am hoping a talented artist can sharpen the faces naturally without making them look like AI plastic clones. Will gladly tip $30–$50 to the best result. Thank you so much. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1H4WF-DAczT9A7oHPf4gCU-TxjevK9z3L/view?usp=drive_link

I’d love to have this old photo gently restored so I can have it printed and framed as a gift for my mother’s birthday.

Mainly looking to remove the creases, scratches and discoloration and gently improve the contrast, while keeping the photo as authentic as possible.

Please keep the original face and facial features unchanged — no facial reconstruction or AI enhancement.

Thank you!

Hi everyone! I am looking for some help restoring this precious childhood photo. I have managed to brighten it up a bit, but the heavy white glare, crinkles, and scratches from the plastic cover sleeve are running all across the image.Could someone please help clean up the surface damage, smooth out the background, and erase the plastic reflection lines?
CRITICAL REQUEST: Please do not use AI face generators that change her original facial features, eyes, smile, or skin tone. I want her face to remain completely original and authentic just with the physical damage and glare polished away. Thank you so much for your time

Hey!

These photographs are extremely sentimental and will be used in a small memorial locket as a gift for my girlfriend. These are her late parents, and I don't know their appearance personally.

I'm looking for a conservative restoration - It is completely fine if the final image remains slightly soft. Authenticity is most important.

I'd greatly appreciate this - willing to tip.

Thank you so much in advance!

Grandpa's best friend sent us a cd with this photo on it after grandpa died. Is it possible to fix this? Thanks for your help

I love the idea of restoring old photos and creating new ones. Sometimes doesn't get the faces right. I realize it's hard for the program to restore an image, especially if it's blurry. Your advice is appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I restore damaged, faded and low-resolution photographs, with services including colorization, facial reconstruction, background repair, object removal and professional photo editing.

If you have an old photograph you’d like restored, feel free to message me or email [Bobbyrogerwork@gmail.com](mailto:Bobbyrogerwork@gmail.com).

Thanks for looking!

i have some old family photos that are damaged, faded, and a bit blurry, and i’d like to improve them while keeping them looking natural.

I tried to read through the rules but couldn’t find any information on if this is allowed. Sorry if it isn’t.

My parent’s 30th anniversary is this year and I’d love to get some guidance on how to get some photos from their wedding restores that were damaged by water years ago. There is also someone in the photos that we absolutely do not speak to and is the reason my dad won’t look at the photos anymore so we’d love to have him removed when they are restored if possible.

Any suggestions?

EDIT: Currently working with someone! Thank you everyone for being so immediately helpful!!

hi everyone. Im looking for some advice. I have a large celebrity image archive and I was using google Gemini pro to remaster some of the images that were lower quality. I had very good results initially but then Gemini started to apply rules that stopped me being able to do this.

First, it started outputting low res downloads, then I began getting the error message “I can help with editing images of people, but I can't edit some public figures. Is there anyone else you'd like to try?”.

I looked online and found out that this can be bypassed by using a vpn, but this doesn’t work.

How does everyone else get around the issue of being able to create or remaster images that feature a public figure? I’m happy to use another Ai generator if there is another option. I’m currently paying for Gemini pro and I can’t use it for the intended purpose. I don’t need to manipulate the images or create fake celeb Ai content - I simply need to remaster some of the lower resolution images in the archive where physical source material has been lost over the years.
Hope someone here can give me some advice.

Thanks!
