Yellowed Baby Photos
A yellowed baby photo is a common case: acidic paper and album pages, cigarette smoke and the slow chemistry of fixer left in the print leaves whites turned cream or brown and a warm cast lying over the whole image, and baby photos from the 1930s to 1980s were rarely stored well enough to escape it.
Faded Photo Fixer is the tool for yellowed baby photos: it targets whites turned cream or brown and a warm cast lying over the whole image and leaves the rest of the baby photo alone. Output follows the shape of the upload, so the christening gown, the fine hair and the blanket pattern end up where they always were in the yellowed original.
Scan the yellowed baby photo flat, or photograph it and run Photo-of-a-Photo Fixer first, so the yellowing is the only thing left to repair. The baby photos come back in seconds, and the 4 free credits on sign-up cover the first Standard pass at the yellowing.
