AI Photo Restoration vs Manual Restoration

Artificial intelligence has changed how photo restoration is performed.

However, manual editing still plays a major role.

Advantages of AI Restoration

AI restoration tools can automatically:

• Remove scratches

• Enhance faces

• Improve resolution

• Colorize images

AI dramatically speeds up restoration workflows.
