Photo restoration

Restore an old team photo and sharpen every face

A team photo has twenty small faces in three rows, and age has made them soft. The bot sharpens each face, cleans the print and balances the light across the group, so your father in the back row can be recognized again.

Small faces, careful check

In a group picture, every sharpened face is a small reconstruction. Compare each one with the original and with other photos of the same person. Faces at the back may come out more similar to each other than they should. If that happens, rerun with a tighter crop of one row. Splitting a big photo into rows often gives a better result.

Numbers, names and banners

Jersey numbers and banners tell you the year and the team. Check them at full size, because the AI may redraw faint digits. If a number looks wrong, trust the original. Add the names as a caption in your layout when you print it, so the next generation knows who is who. A framed copy for the club room is a nice gift to former teammates.

Tips

Send the largest scan you have.
Mention the year and the sport if you know them.
Write down the names from the back of the print before you start.
Ask for 'keep numbers exactly' to protect jersey digits.
