Will it change how people look?

No. The restoration keeps every face, expression, pose, piece of clothing, and the background as they were, with grain consistent with the original. It does not make anyone look younger, slimmer, or different.

Can it colorize a black and white photo?

Yes. It adds realistic, historically plausible color: natural skin tones, muted clothing colors for the period, and subtle color in the setting, while keeping the original lighting. Ask for colorization alone or together with the repair.

What if part of the photo is missing?

askROI tells you when a detail is truly unrecoverable, such as a face that has been torn away or destroyed, instead of inventing one. The repair is aimed at scratches, creases, stains, fading, blur, and small torn corners.

What should I upload?

A flatbed scan of the print gives the most detail. A straight-on phone photo in even light, without glare, also works.

It does not retouch or beautify people, rebuild a face that is gone, or add people and objects that were not in the photo. It also does not change the composition or crop of the picture.

How it works

Attach a scan or a phone photo of the print, and say what you want: repair only, repair and colorize, or colorize only. If you do not say, askROI asks.
askROI's Restore and colorize an old photo tool looks at the photo to name the actual damage (fading, scratches, tears, stains, blur, silvering), then repairs it and adds color in the same pass when you asked for both.
Download the restored image, or point out any area that needs another pass, such as a stubborn stain or a face that came out too smooth.
