Restore an old ship or sailor photo
Ship photos are full of fine lines: rigging, railings, masts and waves. Those lines are the first to blur and fade. Send a flat scan of the print and the bot cleans the damage, sharpens the structure and keeps the crew's faces natural.

Make it in TelegramFine lines
Rigging and railings are thin, and the bot can add or remove lines by mistake. Compare the result with the original at full size, especially around the masts. If the structure looks odd, rerun with 'keep the rigging simple and exact'. A cleaned sky makes the ship stand out, but leave the horizon line as it is. Do not crop away the waterline, because it anchors the hull.
Names and records
Hull names, numbers and flags can help you find the ship in archives. Do not let the bot rewrite them. Keep the lettering from the original and read it with your own eyes. For a sailor in a uniform, check the cap tally and insignia. If you know the navy or the line, say it in the caption and in the file name.
Tips
- Write the ship name in the caption if you know it.
- Crop the crew separately for a better face result.
- Keep hull numbers and flags unchanged.
- Record the voyage or the year on the back.
