Old photo restoration before and after
Restoration comparisons are easiest to understand when the original and restored photo stay aligned. Use one frame to show the improvement without hiding the old image.

Prepare a old photo restoration before and after
- 1Use the original scan
Place the unedited scan or photo on one side so the restoration work has clear context.
- 2Match crop and scale
Keep the face, object, or scene at a similar size in both versions so the repair is easy to compare.
- 3Label the versions clearly
Original and Restored often reads better than Before and After for family photos and archival work.
Keep the comparison factual
- Use a landscape frame for wider family photos.
- Use a vertical frame for portraits.
- Avoid cropping away damaged areas if they show the restoration value.
