Photo enhancement, noise reduction, restoration of worn images, and artwork generated from text or images all happen in HitPaw FotorPea. Its AI models target tasks such as sharpening, face detail, colorizing, and scratch repair.
Which AI models can improve a photo?
FotorPea provides task-specific models for common image problems. Face Model focuses on facial details, while Sharpen Model addresses blur. Denoise Model reduces grain and compression artifacts, and Low-light Model is intended for dim images. Colorize Model adds color to monochrome photos; Scratch Repair and Color Calibration address other restoration work.
For a basic enhancement workflow, import an image, choose a model suited to it, preview the result, then export the edited image. The program accepts PNG, JPG, JPEG, WebP, TIF, TGA, BMP, JFIF, NEF, and RAW files. Export options include PNG, JPG, JPEG, WebP, TIF, TGA, BMP, and JFIF.
Can FotorPea restore old or damaged photos?
Colorize Model can add color to black-and-white images, while Scratch Repair targets visible surface damage. Other restoration tasks include reducing noise in old scans and sharpening soft details. Results depend on the source image, so previewing an edit lets you compare the processed image with the original before exporting.
