Why Old Photos Look Bad And How PhotoNemo Fixes Them
Understanding what damages photos helps you appreciate how our AI restoration works to bring them back to life.
Age & Time
Paper and chemicals break down over decades, causing yellowing, brittleness, and fading that makes photos look washed out.
PhotoNemo fix: Our AI analyzes and corrects color degradation, restoring vibrant tones.
Light Damage
UV exposure bleaches pigments unevenly, creating faded areas and color shifts, especially in reds and yellows.
PhotoNemo fix: Deep learning models reconstruct original colors from faded remnants.
Water & Humidity
Moisture causes warping, staining, mold spots, and emulsion damage that can blur or destroy detail.
PhotoNemo fix: AI fills in damaged areas using context from surrounding pixels.
Physical Damage
Scratches, tears, folds, and fingerprints accumulate from years of handling and improper storage.
PhotoNemo fix: Neural networks intelligently remove scratches and repair tears seamlessly.
