How to Prepare Old Photos for Maximum Color Vibrancy
Ensure authentic color restoration by following these simple digitization guidelines.
Scan, Don't Screenshot
Use a flatbed photo scanner or mobile document scanner app rather than taking a crooked photo of a photo under reflective ceiling lights.
Enhance Faces First
If the original print is blurry or small, run RemexaAI Face Enhancer first to define eye and facial contours before applying color.
Preserve Natural Contrast
Avoid excessive brightness boosting before colorizing. Natural dark shadows help the neural network predict accurate clothing depths.
