FixMyPics - Restore Old Photos

I was really hoping this app would work, but it really didn’t for me. I scanned a series of photo slides from the 50’s-80’s and I was hoping that for the best quality ones, it would remove the dust flecks on the slides and on the worst ones cracking from water damage due to Hurricane Katrina. For the easiest ones, I tried an example of my dad on a camel in Egypt. There were flecks in the perfect blue sky due to dust on the pic when I scanned it (I didn’t see it until after I scanned them). Rather that dusting the slide and risk scratching it, I thought to try to see if it could be easily digitally removed. Did the dust get removed…well yes and no. Roughly 30% were removed, but so was part (only part) of a telephone pole and camel’s neck was badly blurred like a novice discovering and using the smudge tool for the first time. So it did a lot more harm then good. For the more difficult one, there was a picture of my brother when he was a toddler on a sailboat. This picture was cracked similar to some of the examples they show. Instead of fixing the cracking, it removed parts of the boat and enhanced the color, which made the cracks even worse. I am really not convinced that any of the images they provide examples of were actually used in this program based on my experience so far. I have the free Pro version for another few days and will see what happens. I will gladly revise this review if I get better results.

So far I can’t even believe how well the enhancement feature works. I had a couple of almost 50 year old pics of pics and then sent to me so the quality was terrible. One of them you couldn’t even make out their faces but they were of my dads highschool friend that died in a motorcycle accident when they were together. He didn’t have a oic of him ever so even though I heard about him my entire life and had no idea what he looked like even after that pic was sent due to poor quality. Well I finally met him when this oic was brought to life..stunning!

As of today, April 13, 2023 nothing has changed and I mean nothing. I’ve tried finding out where to email you the photos, again nothing there. I wish Apple would allow us to post the results meaning picture. Of course the face’s can be blocked out but again it’s all about money who can you fool. Why can’t we email you the photos your app claimed it fixed? I’ve tried tour app several times, even deleted it and uploaded it again. Your app does noting and I mean nothing. All the cracks was still there. Your app didn’t improve one thing, and you want people to buy your app. No thanks, after this I will be deleting it again. As of today, March 19, 2023 still no improvement at all. Why are they allowing you to lie? The before and after is the same, never heard from your company at all. Plus you haven’t got anything where we can post the before and after picture so people can see your app does nothing at all.
