A phone photo of a photo is not a restoration. It introduces glare, lens distortion, and compression. Digital archival preservation requires a flat-field sensor and calibrated lighting.

For true museum-grade photo repair, the digital asset must contain all the raw data of the original print, something a phone app simply cannot provide.

Secure your history.

Apply these archival standards to your own family collection.
