How to fix damaged, torn or stained old photos

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): The restorer above fills creases, cracks, scratches, dust, water stains, tears and missing corners with picture that matches the surroundings. Small damage is repaired convincingly. If a large part of a face is missing, the rebuilt part is the AI's best guess, so compare the free preview carefully with the original before paying US$0.99.
