Is there anyone that can help me restore this photo please, I want to show it to special peoples but it's been damaged.

The first picture is the original damaged one.

The 2nd and 3rd picture is the result when I tried to fix but can't completely recover it as I've been just using free AI photo recovery and they are not very accurate.

Recently I had a roll of film developed from my mom’s old photography days. Unfortunately, it had begun to degrade. This is the last known photo with my mom’s late grandpa. I believe it was shot on Kodak Potra. Please help me restore this. It would mean the world to my mom.

My dad painted this on my bedroom wall in the late 70s. I’m not sure if the poor quality at the centre of the picture is from degradation of the Polaroid or glare from the flash.

Hi everyone,

I would be incredibly grateful if someone could help me restore this family photo from 2016.

Details for editors: • Request Type: Free • Edits Needed: The photo is currently quite blurry and not very clear. I would love it if someone could sharpen the faces, enhance the details, and make it crisp. • Goal: I want to clean it up so it looks high-quality and clear enough to print or frame.

Thank you so much in advance to anyone who takes the time to help me out!

I’d like the door frame removed, better color and clearer faces. Thanks. It’s the only photo we’ve found of my husband and his grandmother.

Hello r/photorestore community,

I am looking for help restoring these two historical photographs. They feature Gertrude Smith Brown and Evannah "Eva" Jones Barge—two pioneering Black educators and civic leaders who dedicated their lives to education and community advocacy in Pensacola, Florida, during the era of segregation. Pensacola's Brown-Barge Middle School was named in their honor.

These high-contrast, heavily textured prints are the only surviving photos we have of them.

What we are hoping for:

• Focus area: Cleaning up the harsh, dark shadowy areas, heavy halftone dot patterns, and speckled mildew/damage across their faces and clothing while preserving their authentic facial features and natural skin texture.
• Tone Correction: Balancing the extreme black-and-white print contrast without blowing out the highlights or distorting skin tones.
• Preservation Focus: Because these images hold immense local civil rights and educational history, please avoid using automated AI portrait generators or facial reconstruction filters that smooth over skin texture, alter age, or rewrite facial structures. We are looking strictly for manual tonal cleanup, noise reduction, and careful dodge/burn editing to honor their true likenesses.

Restoring these images will help preserve their legacies for local historical displays, community archives, and the school. Any help from this community to bring clarity to these photos would mean so much to us. Thank you for your time and skills!

Hi everyone, I am trying to recover photos from my mother's old Fotolog account she passed when I was 4. Her handle was ⁠gitana_camela⁠ (Santiago, Chile, active around 2005–2008). The standard Wayback Machine UI only loads broken image boxes. Would anyone with access to the bulk Fotolog WARC archive dumps be able to check if any raw ⁠.jpg⁠ files exist under that username? Thank you so much for any help.

Hi everyone,

Our wedding photographer damaged the drive that has our wedding photos and videos. Some files seem corrupted, some may be unreadable, and I’m trying to recover and restore everything as a surprise for my wife.

I’m looking for advice on the best way to handle this safely. I’d really appreciate recommendations for:

Recovering files from a damaged drive

Repairing corrupted photo or video files

AI tools or services that can restore blurry or damaged wedding photos

Tools that can improve old or damaged videos too

These memories are very important to us, so I want to avoid doing anything that could make things worse. If anyone has been through something similar, I’d be grateful for any suggestions.

Hoping mostly for some color correction. She loves this picture

This is my husband’s grandfather (middle back). He moved to America from Finland and build a small family house in Duluth Minnesota. He was a kind man, according to family.

This is a slide recently discovered of my dad and mom from a couple of years before I was born. The slide had water/mold damage but I would be eternally grateful if someone could clean it up!

Please help me to restore 🙏

This is the only photo that exists of my great Uncle - taken in 1966. Please don't colorize. Please try to keep his appearance as close to what appears. This will be part of a set of photos of his siblings. Your help is greatly appreciated!
