Sticky-Album Wedding Photos
A sticky-album wedding 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 wedding photos from the 1920s to 1990s were rarely stored well enough to escape it.
Scratch & Tear Repair is the tool for sticky-album wedding 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 wedding photo alone. Output follows the shape of the upload, so the lace of the dress, the ring hands and the bouquet end up where they always were in the sticky-album original.
Scan the sticky-album wedding 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 wedding photos come back in seconds, and the 4 free credits on sign-up cover the first Standard pass at the album-page residue.

What matters for these photos
- Small faces of the couple, the wedding party and both sets of parents that the album-page residue has taken the detail from
- Sticky-album wedding photos that a copy shop refused to touch
- A sticky-album wedding photo needed for a memorial, an anniversary or a reprint
- Yellow stripes of adhesive on the front and back, torn emulsion where the print was peeled off, and a tacky film, spread over a wedding photo

Repair the rest of the wedding photo
