Digged up my mom’s 80s prom photo last night—scratches all over, colors faded to gray, even her dress looked like a blur. Total heartbreaker, right? That pic’s the only one she has from that night.
First tried VanceAI Photo Restorer—fixed small scratches fast, but when I wanted to brighten her faded lipstick or sharpen the corsage details? Nothin’. Felt like it only did “basic” fixes.
Then I gave HitPaw FotorPea a shot—WHOA, game-changer:
Uploaded the old pic, picked “Old Photo Repair” (specific mode for this—smart!)
Tapped “Color Boost” to bring back the dress’s pink hue
Hit “Sharpen” to clean up the tiny corsage flowers
2 mins later? Scratches gone, colors popped like it was taken yesterday—even the sparkles on her shoes showed up! Mom teared up when she saw it.
Got an old pic that’s seen better days? A childhood snapshot? A grandparent’s wedding photo? Spill—I’ll tell you how to save it! ![]()
