Intact but black and white: colorize. Scratches, stains or folds: restore first, then colorize.
Too small or low resolution: upscale. Sharp but noisy: quality fix. Blurry from motion or focus: deblur.
Keep “Pick for me”. Pixelift picks the model for your prompt and plan, and you see the price before generating.
