Old photo restoration examples
Vitrine by Dev AI Stack collects practical restoration references on devaistack.org for faded photos, scratches, low-detail scans, and black-and-white colorization tasks.
Common restoration examples
Scratches and folds
Best for scanned marks, line scratches, fold creases, stains, and minor age damage.
Black-and-white color direction
Works best when people and scene details are readable. Color should feel natural and period-aware.
Check before restoring
- Are faces still readable?
- Do you have a scan instead of a glare-heavy phone photo?
- Should the period feel and composition stay intact?
- Is this clarity repair rather than identity redraw?

FAQ
Will AI restoration change the person?
It should stay conservative. If a face is heavily missing, use low-intensity repair before asking for a full redraw.
Can a phone photo of a print be restored?
Yes, but scans usually work better. If you only have a phone photo, avoid glare, tilt, and shadows.
