Farm Photos
Scratched Farm Photos
A scratched farm photo is a common case: loose storage in a shoebox, a drawer shared with keys and coins, or a print dragged across scanner glass leaves fine white or dark lines across the emulsion, often clustered in one direction, and farm photos from the 1890s to 1960s were rarely stored well enough to escape it.
Scratch & Tear Repair is the tool for scratched farm photos: it targets fine white or dark lines across the emulsion, often clustered in one direction and leaves the rest of the farm photo alone. Output follows the shape of the upload, so the barn, the equipment and the animals end up where they always were in the scratched original.
Scan the scratched farm photo flat, or photograph it and run Photo-of-a-Photo Fixer first, so the scratching is the only thing left to repair. The farm photos come back in seconds, and the 4 free credits on sign-up cover the first Standard pass at the scratching.
