Restoration for a funeral.

My father passed yesterday and I'm trying to pull some photos of him together for the funeral. There's three photos total. My Dad loved motorcycles and joked he married my mom because she had a car, and he only had a motorcycle.

So there's two photos of them when they were young and in love.
The motorcycle was red and white. My mom's hair was reddish and my dad was blond.

The third image was captured of my father, and then it appeared in a motorcycle calendar. Unfortunately it was near their router and the heat destroyed the color. His motorcycle was a burgundy color, and the storm clouds were very vivid.

Any help would be appreciated. I hope to print these by Thursday. With much appreciation for y'alls tech skills.

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!

Water damaged photo of my Mom from 1995.

My mother's glamor shot from 1995 was water damaged when I was very young, I'd love for this piece of her to endure so she can always look back on it, like she was sitting in that booth in '95 again posing for the camera. To whoever can do this, bless you!

The first two images have a photo in the lefthand corner to give angles in case that helps, and the third one is a full-on image. I don't know what people need for photoshopping.

Please help me restore this picture for my grandfather’s funeral!

I know this may be a difficult restoration, but I’ve tried everything I can to make this photo usable for my grandfather’s funeral. I mainly need the scratches, glare, haze, fading, and damage cleaned up and the image made as clear as possible.

I want everyone’s facial features, expressions, hair, and skin tone kept as close to the original as possible. If some details can’t be recovered accurately, I’d rather they stay a little soft than be changed.

Please help if possible

This is me and my mom, she passed away 3 years ago. She was my best friend, and this picture was taken in 2016 after we had just goofed around and were belly laughing. It’s such a good memory but the picture is so pixelated, I want to see it clearly again and it’s the only version I have of it left.

Extended Family Photo 1960

Can any of you entrepid experts increase the resolution/quality of this photo? Our Mother died in 1963 and we have very few photos of her or ourselves at this age. But, that's a whole nother story. Challenge on and thanks for your help.

Please help restore baby pic of my husband as a present for his birthday.

His birthday will be this month as well. He mentioned once that he'd like these photos restored but noticed that he hasn't actually done it yet. I was thinking that I would surprise him with framed and restored baby pictures of his. Could you help me please??

Violet and Sam

Long, lonnnng ago I was looking at some pictures that my grandmother had, and I was struck by three of a woman who married into my grandfather’s family. She starts out as a happy young lady, with the biggest smile, possibly on their wedding day in the 1920s or about to get married soon.

The next two are during the Depression: sitting in the back yard with her first baby, and then with her two boys around age 8 and 10, I would think. She’s no longer the joyous young girl marrying the man of her dreams but a hard-working mother, whose family has become her life. My cousin recently found their names in a very old family Bible.

More definition and less noise would be wonderful. These actual photos are soooo tiny —- the two of when she was young are less than 2“ x 3“ each; the one with his or her parents in it is not much bigger. It’s awfully hard to see them.

I used to have Photoshop on my computer but I’ve lost it now. Whatever you can do would make my heart happy and bring her to life, after all these decades. Thank you.

Please help to restore deceased father's picture

I am looking to see if someone can help me with restoring this picture of my now-deceased father. He served in the Canadian Armed Forces in the late 2000s or early 2010s. I have tried AI, but the camouflage on his uniform seems to mess up the LLM's.

The good Old Days

Can you please help with enhancing the photo to remove reflections and increase sharpness and clarity including the subjects and aircraft background. Also please improve the lighting. Thank you.

Photo repair or restore question first.

We’ve just found all of these pictures of my Uncle from the 70s in Korea. Something got into these pics and some are totally destroyed. I guess my question is, is there anything we can do to preserve the ones that aren’t destroyed. And my assumption to this question is, these are done for, but I didn’t know if there was a way to scan or somehow pull the impression of the image? It looks like the color just melted off. Here are a couple of examples .
