Fire-Damaged Vacation Photos

A fire-damaged vacation photo is a common case: a house fire, a smoke-filled room or a print that sat too close to a heater leaves charred and curled edges, a brown scorch gradient, soot in the grain and areas lost entirely, and vacation photos from the 1950s to 1990s were rarely stored well enough to escape it.

Photo Restoration is the tool for fire-damaged vacation photos: it targets charred and curled edges, a brown scorch gradient, soot in the grain and areas lost entirely and leaves the rest of the vacation photo alone. Output follows the shape of the upload, so the landmark, the car and the swimsuits end up where they always were in the fire-damaged original.

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