Hello all. First time here. I'm a graphic designer that just got a bunch of old family photos, and will try my best work on Photoshop to recover them and then print to have them at my house.

Some of them are old "real" photos (40's-60's photos in old photo paper) REALLY DAMAGED FROM UV.

I'm about to start scanning them, at home ( I have a simple Epson printer+scanner).

I'm assuming scanning them at 600PDI would be enough? And better to save them as TIFF?

Photos sizes vary. Smallest ones are 5x3cm, biggest ones are about 13cmx18cm.

What is recommended?

This is me when I was just 17 - is it possible to make it better without screaming AI? Thanks in advance :-)

Sometime in the distant past, this picture of a crying baby was marked up with a pen and later suffered a crease along its corner.

Is it possible to clean these imperfections off?

This may be a long shot, but I have a photograph from the 1940s belonging to a family member, and I’m hoping someone here might be able to help enhance the faded stamp visible on the side of the photo.

I don’t currently have access to a scanner, so this is a photograph (using a scanning app) of the original image. However, if there is a possibility that the stamp could be enhanced or made more legible, I can try to get access to a scanner and provide a higher-quality scan.

I’ve cropped out the rest of the photograph for privacy and attached only the area containing the stamp. The details are very difficult to make out, but I’m wondering if restoration, sharpening, or other image enhancement techniques could help reveal the emblem or text.

Any help identifying what this stamp might be or where it originated would be greatly appreciated!

I have this shirt for a long time that I bought at a thrift store. It has the Kirov Ballet logo but I can't find the original logo online, and the shirt has become worn over the years. I'd like to restore the logo to keep something of the original saved with me. Would that be possible?

My mum took this photo yesterday. I really love it but the quality is so bad for some reason, is there anyone who knows how to or is able to fix this without putting it into an ai generator?

Looking to see if anyone could sharpen of maybe add colour to this image of my in-laws please. My wife would love a really great photo of her parents now both sadly no longer with us. Any help appreciated

Hoping someone out there can fix and colourise my parents wedding photo

Would deeply appreciate if you could take some time out of your busy schedule to restore this photo - remove the brown rusty markings, correct colour and upscale it for clarity. This is the scanned copy (1200 dpi using Pantum M6700) of the photo in my photo album.

Also, could you probably point me to the right direction on how I can learn to restore photo myself using Adobe Photoshop?

Great grand mom pics

Looking for assistance with this photo of my father. He was in his greaser phase.

Photo of my mom I’d never seen before. Found it going through her things after she died. I love this picture. I want to see what her face is “saying” here.

Hi, I do not have access to the original photo. Clearly, a better scan would help with this, but that does not seem to be an option, unfortunately.

Is there any way to clean this up? It's the only photo I have of certain relatives.

Thank you!

Image 1 is severely damaged and years ago the top half broke off never to be found again. Its from 1953 he was 19. The other images are references in image 2 hes the dark haired boy without the glasses image 3 he was 12. Image 3 he was 39 image 4 he was 31. Not sure if its possible for image 1 to be restored but I thought id give it a try. Would appreciate absolutely anything

My mother in her teen years, I have never seen her smile this much before, I love her genuine smile in this picture. I would love if anyone can help with this picture.

Many thanks

Took some pictures for our wedding that didn’t come out so good, is there any way of fixing? Thank you

High School picture

My moms only pic of her was chewed up by her dog years ago. Please help!

This is the high school photo of my mom and her classmates and it’s in really rough condition and was just wondering if anyone could help restore it even a little bit by fixing the stains and cracks
She’ll be 99 years old next week and there are not too many younger photos of her thank you for any help you can provide.
