By ImgHeal · Updated
Check likeness, framing, writing, caption accuracy, and the exact exported file before sharing a completed family photo restoration.

Compare the complete scene
Open the untouched source and exact delivery export together. Check people, pose, framing, important objects, and readable writing. Inspect sensitive faces at equivalent scale. Do not rely solely on the editing project because export or resizing can change the file recipients receive. Keep the complete source visible before judging an attractive local detail improvement.
Check meaning alongside appearance
Read the caption beside the final image. Names, dates, and places should retain their supported uncertainty. Label colorization and substantial reconstruction where relevant. A cleaner image should not acquire a more confident historical claim merely because generated lettering or facial detail makes it appear easier to interpret. Review source credits and intended sharing limits too.
Verify the actual handoff
Copy or download the prepared package to another location and open it. Check filenames, dimensions, orientation, and caption association. Record the approved version and retain source and working files. Distinguish a print-specific crop from the general viewing copy so an output designed for one frame does not become the family's only available restoration source.
Check before finishing
- The exact export was compared with the source.
- Caption claims remain supported.
- The handoff opens and matches the approved version.
