Clear the milky haze of a smudged lens

Make it in TelegramHaze lowers contrast first
A greasy lens scatters light, so dark areas turn gray and bright areas bloom. This is different from missed focus, where edges are blurred. The bot raises contrast and rebuilds edges that survive under the veil. If the picture was also out of focus, the result will improve but will not become sharp. Look at hair and eyelashes at full size to judge it.
A deliberate soft look
Some studios used soft focus filters on purpose, and portraits of the period often have a gentle glow around the face. In that case you may want to keep it. Ask for a light correction and compare it with the original. A half way result can be the most flattering. Keep the stronger version too, in case you need it for a detailed print.
Tips
- Say if some soft glow was intentional.
- Scan at a high resolution so edges have material.
- Avoid sharpening in the scanner program first.
- Send a sharper picture of the same day if you have it.
Questions and answers
Is haze the same as blur?
No. Haze is a veil over the picture and blur is lost edge detail. The bot can help with both.
Can I keep the dreamy look?
Yes. Ask for a mild correction in the caption.
What does it cost?
2 credits per image. New users get 15 free credits, so 7 images cost nothing. After that packs start at 129 Telegram Stars, about $2.6 and credits do not expire.
Does the bot work in English?
Yes. It picks up your Telegram language on first launch. You can switch it any time with /lang.
What the bot does not do
- Does not print photos and does not retouch passport or ID photos.
- Does not promise a fixed pixel size. Check the result at full size before printing.
- Heavily damaged faces are reconstructed by AI and may not look like the person. Compare with another photo.
- Does not make video or animate the photo.
