Moldy Funeral and Memorial Photos

A moldy memorial photo is a common case: years in a humid attic, a cardboard box on a concrete floor or a plastic sleeve that trapped moisture leaves fuzzy grey or white patches, brown foxing spots and a musty smell that comes with the print, and funeral and memorial photos from the 1920s to 1990s were rarely stored well enough to escape it.

Stain & Spot Remover is the tool for moldy funeral and memorial photos: it targets fuzzy grey or white patches, brown foxing spots and a musty smell that comes with the print and leaves the rest of the memorial photo alone. Output follows the shape of the upload, so the face, the expression and the way they held themselves end up where they always were in the moldy original.

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