Questions

What does it do to my photos?

It removes dust and specks, brings back faded contrast and gently sharpens the photo so it prints well. It doesn't redraw faces or invent details.

Is my original kept?

Always. The sharpened copy is made for printing; the original stays in your family's LifeMaps exactly as you added it.

Are my photos private?

Yes. Only the people you choose can see them. Nothing is public or in search engines, and you can download everything any time.

What about photos with tiny faces?

Very small faces can't be sharpened without guessing, so we suggest printing those photos smaller instead.
