How to: Restore and edit old photos in your projects

Give Old Memories New Life 🕰️

We all have them: photos tucked away in albums or shoeboxes, a little faded, a little scratched, but full of memories worth preserving. Maybe it's a photo of your grandparents from decades ago, or a childhood picture that's lost some of its color over the years.

With our AI Retouch tool, restoring these old photos is easier than ever. Whether you're creating a Photo Book, printing individual photos, or simply want to preserve a treasured memory, you can bring faded, damaged, or blurry photos back to life in just a few clicks.

3 steps to a restored image

3 steps to a restored image

Step 1: Click on the Photo

When designing any Saal Digital product, select the old or damaged photo in your project, click on Edit image then choose AI Retouch from the menu.

Step 2: Enter Your Prompt

You will see that the software already suggests the prompt “Restore old image”. You can try that prompt, or also describe exactly what you'd like improved. For example:

  • "Remove scratches and creases, restore faded colors"
  • "Fix discoloration and yellowing, sharpen details"
  • "Repair torn edges and restore missing details"
  • "Enhance clarity and reduce blurriness while keeping the original tones"
  • In this case, the prompt we used was: “Restore old image and colorize it”

Step 3: Review and Adjust

Once the AI has restored your photo, take a look at the result. If needed, simply run the tool again with an adjusted prompt for further improvements. Happy? Click on Apply changes to go back to the designer.

Technology may help bring faded photos back to life, but the memories themselves? Those were always worth preserving.
