What does the AI Scratch Repair effect change?

AI Scratch Repair analyzes degraded or undersized image detail and reconstructs a cleaner result, targeting the named defect while protecting recognizable content from unnecessary change. The strength control determines how much of that treatment replaces the unedited appearance.

Which photos work best with AI Scratch Repair?

Choose AI Scratch Repair for scene-aware background changes, consistent campaign-image variations, or damaged or undersized photographs when the source has clear detail and balanced exposure. Start with a lighter setting if it contains ambiguous low-resolution subjects, hidden facial features, or requests that require inventing exact factual details not present in the source.
