Smooth the wavy tide line across a print soaked at the bottom
When a print sits in a puddle, the water climbs the paper and stops at a crisp wavy line, with a darker brown rim. Send a photo and the bot evens out the tone above and below that line.

Make it in TelegramThe rim is the hardest part
A tide line concentrates dissolved dirt into a dark rim, and that rim can be darker than any real shadow in the picture. The bot flattens the rim and then matches the wet zone to the dry zone. Color prints may show dye migration, where blue or red drifted toward the line, so ask for a color balance pass as well. Faces crossing the line deserve a careful look.
Drying and storage
Wet photographs stick to whatever touches them, so lay each one face up on clean blotting paper and let it dry slowly. Avoid heat and direct sun. Scanning as soon as the print is dry preserves the damage as it is, which gives the bot the best material. Keep the dried original flat under a clean sheet and add the restored file to your backup folder.
Tips
- Point out in the caption where the line starts and stops.
- Photograph the print before it dries fully if it is fragile.
- Ask for a gentle tone match so the skin does not turn pink.
- Send a clean corner crop if the colors look unusual.
Questions and answers
Does it fix mold that grew after the flood?
It softens light mold marks. Heavier growth may need its own pass.
Will old and new stains be treated differently?
You can describe both in the caption and the bot handles them together.
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.
