Yellowed Holiday Photos

A yellowed holiday 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 holiday photos from the 1950s to 1990s were rarely stored well enough to escape it.

Faded Photo Fixer is the tool for yellowed holiday photos: it targets whites turned cream or brown and a warm cast lying over the whole image and leaves the rest of the holiday photo alone. Output follows the shape of the upload, so the decorations, the wrapping paper and the tree lights end up where they always were in the yellowed original.

Scan the yellowed holiday photo flat, or photograph it and run Photo-of-a-Photo Fixer first, so the yellowing is the only thing left to repair. The holiday photos come back in seconds, and the 4 free credits on sign-up cover the first Standard pass at the yellowing.
