Restoring a family collection well is less about any single edit and more about a sound process. The two steps people skip are the ones that matter most: scanning at a high enough resolution (it sets a hard ceiling on quality), and saving an untouched archival master before any editing (so the original capture is never lost). Everything else is recoverable; a low scan or an overwritten original is not.
Work on copies, match one tool to each photo's main problem, and stay faithful to the real people in the frame. Then protect the result with real backups — for most families, the digitized, restored collection quietly becomes the primary copy as fragile prints continue to age.
Repair scratches, fading, and blur — or colorize black-and-white — with AI in about a minute per photo.
