Intentional softness

Studios of earlier decades often used soft filters for portraits. If you sharpen too much, the picture loses its style. In the caption you can say keep the soft mood. Look at the result at normal size, since pixel level inspection can mislead. Compare faces with other photos of the same person, since the AI works from patterns and a rebuilt face may not match exactly.

Lace and fabric

Veils, lace and embroidery have fine patterns that the AI may simplify. After the run, zoom in on the dress. If the pattern looks wrong, rerun or accept a softer result there. Faces matter most, so judge those first. Treat the result as a careful interpretation of the original and share it together with the untouched scan. Save every version in the same folder and add the year and the names to the file name so nothing gets mixed up later.

Tips

Decide if you want the soft look gone or only reduced.
Check lace and veil details, they can look strange.
Keep the original for the album.
Use the combined mode if the print is also damaged.
