It is intended for visible aging such as fading, scratches, tears, and lost contrast, plus general detail enhancement. ### Does Restore Image require a photo? Yes. This is an image-to-image restoration workflow and requires one source image. ### What format does it return? Made’s current model configuration returns PNG output. ### Will the result be historically exact? Not necessarily. AI can infer missing details, so compare important faces, objects, text, and period details with the original. ### Should I scan the print first? A clean, high-resolution scan generally gives the model more real detail to work with than a dim or angled phone photo. ### When should I use Image Upscaler instead? Use Image Upscaler when the main problem is low resolution or softness rather than physical damage and fading. --- Markdown version of https://www.made.app/models/restore-image.
