What kinds of scratches can this AI remove?

Remove Scratches from Photos is best for line-like damage such as surface scratches, abrasion marks, narrow streaks, and scan-line defects on old photos or scanned prints.

Is this page for scratches or for general photo restoration?

Remove Scratches from Photos is focused on scratch removal. If the photo needs broader cleanup across scratches, stains, fading, tears, or several repair problems at once, a broad restoration page is usually the better fit.

Can I use it on scanned old photos?

Yes. Remove Scratches from Photos works well for scanned old photos and other digitized prints where scratch lines or scan-line damage are the main visible defects.

What if my photo has dust spots instead of scratches?

Dust usually appears as isolated specks or scanner dust spots, so Remove Dust from Photos is the better fit. Use Remove Scratches from Photos when the damage mainly looks like lines, streaks, or abrasions.

What if the damage looks like a stain patch, not a scratch line?

Use Remove Photo Stains for water marks, foxing, mold stains, blotches, or patchy discoloration. Remove Scratches from Photos is better for narrow scratch lines and surface abrasion damage.

Can this fix torn edges or missing pieces too?

Not really. If the print is ripped, split, or missing parts, the torn-photo route is the better match because it is designed for reconstruction rather than scratch-only repair.

Can this fix fading or low contrast across the whole photo?

Remove Scratches from Photos focuses on scratches, not whole-photo fading or washed-out tones. If the image mainly looks faded or low contrast, use the faded-photo route instead.

What if the photo has several damage types at once?

If heavy scratches appear together with stains, tears, cracks, or other major damage, use Restore Damaged Photos instead of treating it like a Remove Scratches from Photos cleanup.
