Any way someone could help clear this up?

This is my great uncle and my grandmother. My great uncle went MIA in the Korean War and my family doesn’t have a good photo of him anywhere. If anyone could help I’d be glad to pay :)

Photo of my Grandpa

Hi! My Aunt and I are hoping someone can help us with a photo of my Grandpa that has been faded from being in the sun. My Grandma had it in her sunroom opposite a wall of windows and you can hardly make my Grandpa out anymore. Any tips, tricks, or points in the right direction are appreciated. Thank you!

A big ask for you talented folks

A very kind woman asked me to post this for her. Her daughter accidentally damaged the portrait and one of the subjects has passed on. She wants to reprint this in a 16x20 once fixed, the OG size. Is there anyone who can take this on? $20 tip.

Need free help restoring faces in photos.

Hi. Inspired by examples of hopeless photo restoration, I decided to write a post. I have a family photo from the late 19th century. It shows my family members before they were scattered across the world by two world wars. The original photo, unfortunately, is literally falling apart in my hands. I scanned it in the highest quality available. I'd like to believe that someone will be able to do what I couldn't. But frankly, I have little hope that anything can be done with it, but it's better to try and regret than not try. Thanks in advance for any efforts.

Dad’s funeral is tomorrow…

Please help. I’m putting together this slideshow for my father’s service and I found this old photo of us from Christmas 30+ years ago that’s I’d love to include. Looks like a thumb in the way. Can you help me out here? Thank everyone.

Back in 2023, I trained a neural network specifically for this project on their other photos which lacked the right angles & timeframe. Preserving surviving areas and final restoration were done manually in Photoshop. Caption: "An arcade in 1988, my parents' first date. CA, US" | Paypal, Zelle $30+

Paid/Tip - Requesting focus repair on girlfriend's HS graduation photo with her late father. Only copy.

Hi everyone. Long story short, this is the only photo my girlfriend has of her graduation (in 1988) with both parents, and her father has since passed away. The physical print is out of focus. A local print shop botched the scan, but I managed to get a clean glare-free copy using PhotoScan, linked below. I am hoping a talented artist can sharpen the faces naturally without making them look like AI plastic clones. Will gladly tip $30–$50 to the best result. Thank you so much. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1H4WF-DAczT9A7oHPf4gCU-TxjevK9z3L/view?usp=drive_link

Gentle restoration of an old photo for my mother’s birthday

I’d love to have this old photo gently restored so I can have it printed and framed as a gift for my mother’s birthday.

Mainly looking to remove the creases, scratches and discoloration and gently improve the contrast, while keeping the photo as authentic as possible. Please keep the original face and facial features unchanged. Thank you in advance!

Christmas 1969, South Korea. Frank Taylor volunteered to be Santa for an orphanage right after suffering a heartbreaking personal loss. A truly moving restoration project. | You can find the full story in the comments, and more original manually-driven restoration work on my profile. Thank you.

[Free] Please help clean up the heavy plastic glare and scratches on this childhood photo without changing her facial features

Hi everyone! I am looking for some help restoring this precious childhood photo. I have managed to brighten it up a bit, but the heavy white glare, crinkles, and scratches from the plastic cover sleeve are running all across the image.Could someone please help clean up the surface damage, smooth out the background, and erase the plastic reflection lines?
CRITICAL REQUEST: Please do not use AI face generators that change her original facial features, eyes, smile, or skin tone. I want her face to remain completely original and authentic just with the physical damage and glare polished away. Thank you so much for your time

NO AI / NO GENERATIVE FACE RESTORATION — sentimental photos of late family members 😢

Hey!

These photographs are extremely sentimental and will be used in a small memorial locket as a gift for my girlfriend. These are her late parents, and I don't know their appearance personally.

I'm looking for a conservative restoration - It is completely fine if the final image remains slightly soft. Authenticity is most important.

I'd greatly appreciate this - willing to tip.

Thank you so much in advance!
