Questions:
- Q: What photos work best?
  A: A scan, or a clear phone photo of the print taken straight on in even light. Tears, creases, stains, fading and colour casts are all repaired.
- Q: Will it change how people look?
  A: It's told to keep every face, expression, hairstyle and outfit as they are and only repair the damage. Compare the result with the original, especially for small faces in group photos.
- Q: Colourise or keep black and white?
  A: Colourise adds natural, true-to-era colour. Keep black & white cleans and sharpens the photo without adding colour.
- Q: Can I restore a colour photo?
  A: Yes. Faded colour prints and orange or magenta colour casts are corrected, and the colours are brought back to what they were.
