Water-Damaged Pet Photos
Water-damaged pet photos usually come out of a flooded basement, a burst pipe, a leaking roof or a damp garage. On a pet photo the water damage shows as brown tide lines, blotches where the emulsion swelled and prints stuck face to face or to the album sleeve, right across a dog, cat or horse, sometimes with a child holding the lead.
Upload a scan or a phone photo of the water-damaged pet photo and the AI-powered repair comes back in seconds with the markings, the collar and the coat texture left as they were. Where the water damage covered a face in pet photos, check the result against family memory before you print it.
If the water damage on the pet photo is worse than it looks, run Stain & Spot Remover twice rather than reaching for a heavier setting. Then upscale the water-damaged pet photos for a reprint, since the output keeps the shape of the upload.
