Creases are physical damage to the emulsion

A crease is not just a visual line — it is a physical break in the emulsion layer where the paper was folded. The break causes a permanent light/dark line because the emulsion thickness changes along the fold. Once the crease is in place, no amount of re-flattening will remove it from the print.

Our AI repairs creases digitally by detecting the linear fold pattern and reconstructing the underlying image based on the surrounding intact area. The result is a clean photograph that looks like it was never folded — with no visible repair seam.
