Scratched Honeymoon Photos

A scratched honeymoon 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 honeymoon photos from the 1940s to 1990s were rarely stored well enough to escape it.

Scratch & Tear Repair is the tool for scratched honeymoon photos: it targets fine white or dark lines across the emulsion, often clustered in one direction and leaves the rest of the honeymoon photo alone. Output follows the shape of the upload, so the hotel sign, the clothing and the view behind them end up where they always were in the scratched original.

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