If you’re a younger millennial or older, you may have come into contact with photos developed from film. Yes, it’s true, somewhere, right now, in a relative’s credenza, there is a photo album with a physical photo of you and/or your cousins and parents and extended family. We think hardcopy photos are wonderful mementoes, the only downside being that they age with the rest of us. But with AirBrush’s latest tool, Old Photo Repair, you can restore old pictures and the memories they evoke, to their original state. Have them developed again and even make multiple copies for the family for a sentimental gift they’ll love, so keep reading to find out how to use this tool.
Where to find it

It’ll be nested on the Home screen of the app. As you probably use the AirBrush app regularly, it may open on a current project. Access the home screen by tapping the home icon in the upper left corner of your screen.
Select Old Photo Repair

Choose a Photo to Repair
Tapping the Try Now button will take you to the phone’s gallery where you can select the pic you want to restore. Once that selection is made and the photo processed and you should be looking at your new repaired photo!
Repair and Review
You can use the Before and After icon to shift back and forth to see just how drastic the improvements are to the selected photo.
