Simple desktop app for restoring old photos

I've been scanning hundreds of old pictures, even Daguerrotypes and tintypes from 19th century. The Photos app, included with a Mac, is about all I need.

This is a Daguerrotype from the 1850s. It was an

image on metal that was barely visible at all. The blue

and red colors could be seen if you held it just right

in the light. It was full of rust-like spots and seemed

pretty sad. Can you believe, taken 175 years ago!

I may have used  GraphicConverter ($40) for some work before loading them into Photos-- especially for cropping and rotating from the scanning. But Photos has gotten more powerful since then.

Pictures like these

from 1900 and 1878 were quite a mess when I scanned them. One decision is when to stop -- they should continue to look old!

If you need masks to isolate the subject or sky, I've been trying out Photomator ($30/year or $80) with good success-- but I haven't really used it for old pictures.

I use an app called Fotor, I've used it to recover my grandparents old photos that are either degraded badly or are very blurry and in B&W due to older camera apertures in the 70s, some examples are below, I think you'll like this app, first 5 photo edits are free and the rest will require a subscription which is only 7.99 a month last I recall

Grab the corner handles:

Like that.

The app you use seems really interesting. The picture of the girl is great!

However, in my mind colorizing adds fake information and destroys the legitimacy of the image. I suppose you could have addd Tom Cruise to the picture to make it even more exciting…

sorry if the images are Larger then id expected, still learning how to use apple support communities

how do I shrink my images, the way yours are?
