At a glance
| Condition | Chance of a good result | Note |

| Faded, scratched, creased | High | Most common case |
| Water stains, mold spots | Good | Heavy stains may leave traces |
| Half a face missing, very blurry | Limited | Rebuilt detail is a guess |

Will my family still look like themselves?
The AI is told not to change faces or beautify anyone; heavily damaged faces may differ slightly, so check the preview.
What if I do not like the preview?
Do not pay; try a better scan or the other mode.
Is a restored photo a true record?
It is an interpretation. Keep the original scan too.
