I recently found some old family photos that were damaged by scratches, faded colors, and low image quality. I first tried restoring them manually in Photoshop, but honestly, it took a lot of time and required quite a bit of editing experience.
The traditional restoration process usually involves fixing scratches, repairing damaged areas, adjusting colors, and improving details step by step. It gives you more control, but it’s not always beginner-friendly.
So I decided to try an AI photo restoration tool instead.
I tested HitPaw FotorPea, and the process was much easier:
- Upload the old photo
- Let AI detect and repair damage
- Enhance facial details
- Restore colors and improve clarity
What impressed me most was that it didn’t just sharpen the image — it helped bring back details that were hard to see before, especially faces in old family portraits.
