Help restore my dads picture

This is the only photograph I have of my father. It was given to me in this condition, and I’m seeking assistance from anyone on this platform to restore it. I’m new to Reddit and am uncertain about the cost involved and the payment process.

I'd like to make a great photo of my friend and his son even better. I'll tip the best one.

Buddy if mine posted this-- said it's a "bad quality photo, awesome quality moment". Trying to make the awesome quality moment easier to remember by improving the picture.

Thanks all.

Please help refresh this picture

My nan recently passed away and I would love to give my mum an updated version of this picture of her as a teen. I’d be so happy if it was colourised with creases removed and imperfections/damage fixed. Happy to tip £15 for the best one

My Mom (1968)

One of the very few photos of my mom when she was young. This is a copy, the original is lost. I’d love to print it and give it to her. Can someone remove the glare in the upper left corner, the scratch in the lower right corner, and the discoloration around the eye?

Old Photo Needs a New Life – Restore, Colourise & Remove Stamp! (Tip for Best Work)

Hi All,,

I have an old photo that means a lot to me, and I’d love to see it brought back to life. It’s a bit bent, has a stamp on it, and part of the shoulder is cut off on one side. If possible, I’d love some help with:

Removing the stamp
Straightening the image
Restoring it in both black & white and colour (so I can choose)
Filling in a bit of the missing shoulder naturally
Colour details: He had a pale white complexation and would have had grey hair at this time (likely in his 50s or 60s)

I’ll tip the best restoration as a thank you! Looking forward to seeing the magic you all can work. I truly appreciate any help.

Need help

We bought an old house bulit <1900 and we got nearly no information about its history beside an old picture. There's a sign above the entrance but it is not readable. Is anyone able to restorate this picture so that we can read what the sign says?

Im looking forward to your help

Help restoring and tidying up this photo please. Will tip $10 to the best.

Any help restoring this photo would be amazing! Happy to tip $10 for the best.

Main things I’d like if possible: clean up the folds/physical damage, remove “PROOF”, colorise, sharpen up the lot, cropped accordingly.

Colour: I’d guess the men would be in black suits, bride in white, bridesmaids a very pale yellow (guessing!)

Oldest photo of my dad around 1971. Can someone restore and enhance please! The shirt was originally blue. This photo has a red-tannish look to it for some reason.
