What Repair Damaged Photos does
Fill scratches, dust and worn spots
Focus on scratches, dust and worn areas without changing the entire picture. The repair is composited only where you paint.
Compare the original with your edit
Look at the original beside the edited image to check the same details. Drag the split-view divider to compare at any point while editing.
Undo a step that goes too far
On Mac, reorder or disable individual steps, and undo or redo a setting that goes too far.
Save as PNG, JPEG, TIFF or HEIC
Save the finished image to a location you choose, in PNG, JPEG, TIFF or HEIC. Share it or print it.
Chain workflows on Windows
On Windows, the output of each workflow can feed the next, so you can chain them.
