| Fixture findings | On the 1024×1024 degraded portrait anchor, it completely removes all 5 white creases and 45 dust specks across the face, hair, and sweater (20.84 dB scratch PSNR), restores crisp facial detail (24.00 dB face PSNR, 0.8601 SSIM), and upscales output to 2048×2048 (2×). | Improves portrait and background sharpness (22.23 dB PSNR, 0.5222 edge correlation) while leaving the 5 synthetic creases unhealed (6.22 dB scratch PSNR). |
| Original historical observation | Selecting the 'Restore old photo' preset with Seedream 5 Flash completely heals all 5 white creases and 45 dust specks across the forehead, cheek, curls, and sweater (scratch_psnr = 20.84 dB) while restoring sharp facial features and upscaling to 2048×2048 (face_psnr = 24.00 dB, SSIM = 0.8601). | Cutout.Pro noticeably denoises and sharpens the eyes, lips, and bookshelf background (global PSNR = 22.23 dB, SSIM = 0.8224, edge_corr = 0.5222), but does not inpaint the 5 white creases (scratch_psnr = 6.22 dB) (result.png, download.png). |
| Suitable uses · historical assessment | Users who need one-click automatic removal of heavy creases, scratches, and dust spots (20.84 dB scratch PSNR) combined with 2048×2048 2K portrait restoration without recurring subscriptions | Sharpens blurry portraits in 6.06s without login (22.23 dB global PSNR, 0.5222 edge correlation) with direct 750×750 watermark-free JPEG export, though it performs deblurring only and does not automatically inpaint creases (6.22 dB scratch PSNR). |
