Frequently asked questions
Can AI restore a badly damaged photo?
It handles scratches, dust, fading and small tears very well. Large missing pieces can be filled with the object remover's brush, but the AI will reconstruct, not recover, those areas.
Is colorization accurate?
Colors are a realistic estimate, not a record of the real colors. Skin, sky and foliage look natural, while clothing colors are the AI's best guess.
