Creased Workplace Photos

A creased workplace photo is a common case: a print folded into a wallet, a letter or a pocket, then flattened again decades later leaves a white line where the emulsion broke along the fold, very often straight through a face, and workplace photos from the 1890s to 1970s were rarely stored well enough to escape it.

Scratch & Tear Repair is the tool for creased workplace photos: it targets a white line where the emulsion broke along the fold, very often straight through a face and leaves the rest of the workplace photo alone. Output follows the shape of the upload, so the signage, the tools and the company name end up where they always were in the creased original.

Scan the creased workplace photo flat, or photograph it and run Photo-of-a-Photo Fixer first, so the creasing is the only thing left to repair. The workplace photos come back in seconds, and the 4 free credits on sign-up cover the first Standard pass at the creasing.
