Water-Damaged Sports Team Photos
Water-damaged sports team photos usually come out of a flooded basement, a burst pipe, a leaking roof or a damp garage. On a team 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 two rows of players with the coach at one end and a ball on the ground in front.
Upload a scan or a phone photo of the water-damaged team photo and the AI-powered repair comes back in seconds with the jersey numbers, the trophy and the team banner left as they were. Where the water damage covered a face in sports team photos, check the result against family memory before you print it.
If the water damage on the team photo is worse than it looks, run Stain & Spot Remover twice rather than reaching for a heavier setting. Then upscale the water-damaged sports team photos for a reprint, since the output keeps the shape of the upload.
