How to Review a Restored Photo with Older Relatives
By ImgHeal · Updated
Use side-by-side versions and focused questions to capture corrections without leading the reviewer.
Set the project's purpose
Prepare the untouched source, a restored copy, and a numbered version for group portraits. Choose a comfortable screen size or print and allow enough time for careful viewing.
Make a documented plan
Ask about identity, expression, clothing, place, and details that look wrong. Avoid asking only whether the image is better, since a more attractive result can still be less accurate.
Review whether the result serves the goal
Record the reviewer, date, exact correction, and certainty. Revise the edit note and preserve disagreements when memories differ.
Check before you finish
- Show the untouched source beside the edit.
- Ask specific, neutral questions.
- Record reviewer and certainty.
