Restore a faded print from the 1970s

Seventies prints are known for warm browns, wide collars and a tendency to go orange or pink with time. Many were glued into albums with sticky pages. Send a photo of the print and the bot corrects the cast, wipes surface damage and brings out faces and details.

The orange shift

Many consumer prints of the decade lost their blue and green dyes first, leaving red and yellow behind. The picture looks as if it sits under a lamp. The bot finds the neutral points in the image and pulls the balance back. Rooms from that era are full of strong browns and oranges on purpose, so keep the instruction mild and check the result against what you remember.

Prints stuck to album pages

Magnetic and sticky pages hold pictures tightly and leave a hazy film on the surface. If the print is still stuck, photograph the page as it is and send it. The bot can repair what you can see. Removing the print is a job for a conservator if the picture matters. Keep the album closed and flat, and store it away from sun.

Tips

Mention the color of a wall or a car that you remember.
Do not peel a print from a sticky page yourself.
Ask for a mild fix if you like the warm seventies feel.
Photograph the album page too if it has handwritten dates.

Questions and answers

Does the restoration keep film grain?

Yes, if you ask. Say 'keep film grain' in the caption.

Can I send the whole album page?

You can. For the best detail, send single prints one by one.

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 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.
