Torn Sports Team Photos
Sports team photos showing a ragged white line where the paper fibers show, sometimes with a missing corner or a whole strip gone have almost always met a print pulled out of a frame or an album, an argument over who keeps it, or a small child's hands. The tearing sits on top of the image of two rows of players with the coach at one end and a ball on the ground in front, which is still there underneath.
Nothing in the team photo is redrawn for effect; the tearing is treated as a layer to remove and the image of two rows of players with the coach at one end and a ball on the ground in front as the thing to keep. If the torn area covered the jersey numbers, the trophy and the team banner, the fill is inferred from what survives around it.
Start with Scratch & Tear Repair on the torn team photo, then chain Face Restoration or the upscaler in the Studio if the sports team photos need it. The 4 free credits on a new account cover one Standard run on torn sports team photos.

What matters for these photos
- A torn team photo that is the only copy anyone has
- The jersey numbers, the trophy and the team banner, hidden under the tearing
- Tearing from a print pulled out of a frame or an album, an argument over who keeps it, or a small child's hands, on sports team photos from the 1900s to 1990s
- Small faces of two rows of players with the coach at one end and a ball on the ground in front that the tearing has taken the detail from
Suggested order of passes
- 01
Remove the tearing
Scratch & Tear Repair targets a ragged white line where the paper fibers show, sometimes with a missing corner or a whole strip gone while keeping the jersey numbers, the trophy and the team banner in the team photo untouched.
Scratch & Tear Repair - 02
Repair the rest of the team photo
Face Restoration addresses the usual wear on sports team photos, tiny faces in a wide frame, a crease through the back row and jersey colors faded to pastel, once the tearing is gone.
Face Restoration - 03
Sharpen the faces of two rows of players with the coach at one end and a ball on the ground in front
Recovers the eye and skin detail the tearing softened; keep it at natural strength on sports team photos unless the faces are tiny.
Face Restoration - 04
Upscale the team photo for reprinting
