    How about posting about your problem on the github discussion for Upscayl? You might get some results there.

    Re: How to restore color and sharpness of old photos

    If you're still interested in having a program on your computer, there is another upscaling program called Upscaler. It might work with your system. I had it installed a long time ago but replaced it with Upscayl because at that time, Upscayl had more options. However, looking at the Upscaler website. they seemed to have added features. Its Flatpak. Might be worth trying out.

    Hi Dennis N,

    Thanks for your advice.

    I'm now injecting my effort to restore fade old photos to digitised images at camera capturing stage. Wonderful, there are many features(settings) on Android phone camera. I just applied "filter" feature and it did a good job. Please refers to attached screenshots.

    I use remote-access controlling the Android phone camera. Its setup, both hardware and software are very simple. Also please refers to attached screenshots.

    To convert. hard-copy photos of good quality to digitized images, we can use "google scan" on Android phone . We just hold the phone camera with hands to shoot. No hardware setup is required. "google scan" is available on "Play store", FREE to use.

    Besides we can shoot 4 (four) hardcopy photos in ONE shot simutaneously !!!

    This is a NEW era !!! We don't need a scanner. Taking a shot is much much ... faster than scanning on a flatbed scanner !!!

    Re: How to restore color and sharpness of old photos

    Is this Google's PhotoScan app? If yes, I see the improvement between #1 and #2. I that works to your satisfaction, stop reading.

    O.K, I just looked at the PhotoScan web page, and I didn't see any claim that it does upscaling (larger dimensions). If you want a larger size picture and improved sharpness, you need an upscaling application like Upscayl.

    What Upscayl (or Upscaler) does:
    Your photo #1: 337.5 kB and 643 x 374
    After processing with Upscayl using the 2x option: 1.6 mB and 1286 x 748.

    No. That is from my Samsung Galaxy S22 phone with only one click after having selected the "filter". It is very convenient. I'm now googling the use of other settings.

    I don't need big size digital images. I just need those digitized images in good quality for building the website "My Foot Prints on the Earch".

    If I need big size digitised images, after editing just run "Convert" command on Terminal to do the job. Also it is very simple and convenient>
