Restoring Blurry Vintage Photos with Photoshop's Generative Upscale (One-Click Method)
Client calls me last spring asking if I can restore a handful of old family photos for a campaign about heritage and legacy. The images are small, soft, and shot on film sometime in the 1970s. I’ve done this kind of work before, and historically it means a combination of sharpening passes, manual frequency separation, and a lot of squinting. It’s slow. It’s imperfect. And when the client wants a 24x36 print out of a 600-pixel scan, there’s only so much you can do before the physics of resolution just say no.
