How to Restore Old Photos for the Perfect Father’s Day Gift
The Old Photo Restorer can completely transform an old photo in just one or two clicks. Here’s how to use it for the best possible results for your Father’s Day present.
First, head on over to the Photo Editor or open the Old Photo Restorer directly.
Step 1: Upload Your Old Photo
To begin restoring your Father’s Day gift, first upload your old photo. If you started elsewhere in the Photo Editor, you can find the Old Photo Restorer in the Detail Enhancements section of the Edit tab.
Step 2: Restore
Once you’ve clicked on the Old Photo Restorer, the algorithm will smooth pixels and scratches, clarify details, and enhance contrast. If you’re working with a color photo, the Old Photo Restorer will also color-correct your image and make the colors more vivid. It will also automatically Recover Faces by using AI to enhance facial features.
If you’re happy with how the restoration has turned out, just click Apply and you’re done! If you’re not completely satisfied with the results, you can fine-tune your restoration in the next step.
Step 3: Enhance and Clean Up
You can tweak the effects of the Old Photo Restorer by adjusting the Scratch Reduction. You can also turn off the Recover Faces tool for a more traditional restoration. Finally, you can colorize old black-and-white photos for more vibrant results.
The Old Photo Restorer is a one-click wonder, but if you want to get more detailed with your restoration, other tools that may come in handy are Denoise for smoothing, Deblur for fixing motion and focus blurs, and Upscale to make your photos larger.
Step 4: Save!
And that’s it! You’re ready to save your new (old) Father’s Day photo by clicking the Save button at the top of the page. It’s best practice to save as a high-quality PNG for the best digital resolution, but if you’re printing it out to frame or use in a photo album, you can also Save as PDF for the best printable file.
How to Turn Old Photos Into the Best Father’s Day Gift
Once your old photos are restored, you can turn them into a wide variety of gifts. Consider putting one or two photographs and frame them, or putting several together in a physical or digital photo album.
Alternatively, you can use your restored old photo to make a custom Father’s Day card. You can also put the image on a mug, sweater, or other object, adding meaning to a practical gift.
Whatever route you decide to choose, your old photos are sure to turn any Father’s Day present into a treasured memento.
