Should I repair tears before AI enhancement?

Yes when used conservatively. Keep both original and restored versions for record integrity.

Restore old photos by improving softness, grain, and age-related degradation while keeping the original look intact.

Aged prints and scans often combine fading, blur, and compression in one file. Generic filters usually over-smooth these images.

Use Focus Restore for structural clarity. Add Denoise when scan grain is strong and distracting.

Keep an untouched master scan. Restoration should be reversible so you can revisit decisions later.
