Drag to compare — a real Reviva restore

Restore first, color optional

Reviva cleans up the cracks, fading, and scratches on a black-and-white print. Keep it monochrome, or add believable period color — your choice.

The oldest photos, brought forward

Black-and-white prints are often the oldest and most damaged in the box. They're also where a good restore feels the most like time travel.
