Professional archivists often debate the ethics of AI restoration versus traditional conservation, but for personal use, the benefits clearly outweigh any philosophical concerns. I recently acquired a collection of tintypes from a local estate sale, many of which had severe silver mirroring and scratches that obscured the subjects' faces entirely. Standard scanning and contrast adjustment did nothing to reveal the hidden details, so I turned to machine learning models trained on millions of historical photographs. The specific feature that saved this collection was Photo Restoration, which uses generative adversarial networks to infer missing facial features based on the undamaged portions of the image. One particular tintype showed a Civil War soldier whose entire left side had been scratched away, but the AI reconstructed his uniform buttons and sleeve based on the visible right side. The results were not perfect, but they were good enough to identify the regiment insignia, which allowed me to trace the soldier's history through military records, turning a damaged artifact into a genealogical breakthrough.
