Sticky-Album Honeymoon Photos

A sticky-album honeymoon photo is a common case: the self-adhesive magnetic albums sold from the 1970s onward, whose glue yellows and bonds to the print leaves yellow stripes of adhesive on the front and back, torn emulsion where the print was peeled off, and a tacky film, and honeymoon photos from the 1940s to 1990s were rarely stored well enough to escape it.

Scratch & Tear Repair is the tool for sticky-album honeymoon photos: it targets yellow stripes of adhesive on the front and back, torn emulsion where the print was peeled off, and a tacky film 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 sticky-album original.

Scan the sticky-album honeymoon photo flat, or photograph it and run Photo-of-a-Photo Fixer first, so the album-page residue 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 album-page residue.
