- Enable "Repair physical damage" for photos with scratches, cracks, or tears — uses LaMa inpainting after auto-detecting the damage.
- For scanned prints, rotate and crop the photo first so the AI focuses on the subject.
- Turn face enhancement off for landscapes or object photos — it's tuned for human faces.
- Use 4× upscaling only on photos smaller than 1024×1024. Larger inputs can be slow to process.
- Black-and-white photos stay monochrome. Run the colorizer on the restored output to add colour.
