Shoutout to the free AI photo cleanup tool that saved my dad's 40 year old fishing pics
Two years ago I paid a guy in town $60 to fix scratches on old family photos and it took him almost three weeks to finish four of them. Last month my brother ran the same batch through one of those free AI restoration sites and it cleaned up creases, fading, and even the torn corner on my dad's 1985 lake photo in about 90 seconds. I honestly expected junk but the faces came out sharp and it did not invent weird fingers or extra teeth like I worried it would. I still printed the best one at Walgreens for $4 and my dad hung it in his garage. Has anyone tried these tools on really damaged shots, like water stains or missing chunks, or do they fall apart once the damage gets bad?
