Torn Class Photos
A torn class photo is a common case: a print pulled out of a frame or an album, an argument over who keeps it, or a small child's hands leaves a ragged white line where the paper fibers show, sometimes with a missing corner or a whole strip gone, and class photos from the 1920s to 1990s were rarely stored well enough to escape it.
Scratch & Tear Repair is the tool for torn class photos: it targets a ragged white line where the paper fibers show, sometimes with a missing corner or a whole strip gone and leaves the rest of the class photo alone. Output follows the shape of the upload, so each child's face, the name board and the teacher end up where they always were in the torn original.
Scan the torn class photo flat, or photograph it and run Photo-of-a-Photo Fixer first, so the tearing is the only thing left to repair. The class photos come back in seconds, and the 4 free credits on sign-up cover the first Standard pass at the tearing.
