Improve a Scanned Photo
Scans often look flat because the paper, scanner glass and automatic exposure reduce contrast. A small contrast and sharpness adjustment can make a clean scan easier to view and print.

FAQ
Does this remove scratches or tears?
No. It improves the overall tone and visible sharpness. Physical damage needs object-aware restoration.
Can I use it on black-and-white scans?
Yes. Leave the Color control at zero or reduce it slightly to keep a neutral monochrome result.
What scan resolution should I use?
For archiving, scan at 600 dpi when practical. This tool keeps up to 1800 pixels on the longest side for responsive browser processing.
