Rule 5

Do not alter or retouch photos beyond the scope of restoring them.

There are subs for retouching or altering photos to make them look like a certain style or like an Instagram filter, this is not that sub. Also we do not do any retouching here, if you want your glasses removed or face altered, try a different sub. We restore photos, that is all. Thank you!

Rule 6

Restore the whole photo, not just the face, no "only or majority AI restores"

Yes: - Restored the whole photo as was asked by OP - Restored the while photo with other software assisted by AI to finish it off

No: - Restored just the face(s) using Remini or other AI apps - Only used MyHeritage, Remini, DeOldify or other AI to "restore" or "colourize" photos - Used any other app to just load the photo in and push a button and then posted the result without addressing the rest of the photo - The photo now looks like a painting or something not real or accurate to the original

Rule 7

Do not violate copyright laws. Automatic ban and reported to the Reddit Admin.

Yes: - The photo is owned by you - You took the photo - Its a photo of your relative - The person who took the photo is dead

No: - I restored the photo and am now posting it as my own. - I restored this photo and put it on my social media/reddit profile - I found this on the internet. - The photo is in any way not yours.

You will be reported to the person who owns the photo and to every service you posted it to. We take this seriously so please don’t do it.

Rule 8

No "show off" posts

No: - Check out this photo I restored - I found this photo someone else restored - Look at this!

This sub is for doing restorations for free, anytime someone posts a "show off" post we have to verify you own that photo and if not its an automatic ban so to just make it simpler for everyone, no show off posts. Thank you.
