Graduation Photos
Fire-Damaged Graduation Photos
Fire-damaged graduation photos usually come out of a house fire, a smoke-filled room or a print that sat too close to a heater. On a graduation photo the fire damage shows as charred and curled edges, a brown scorch gradient, soot in the grain and areas lost entirely, right across the graduate in cap and gown, often with a parent standing just behind.
Upload a scan or a phone photo of the fire-damaged graduation photo and the AI-powered repair comes back in seconds with the tassel, the diploma and the school crest left as they were. Where the fire damage covered a face in graduation photos, check the result against family memory before you print it.
If the fire damage on the graduation photo is worse than it looks, run Photo Restoration twice rather than reaching for a heavier setting. Then upscale the fire-damaged graduation photos for a reprint, since the output keeps the shape of the upload.
