Best App for editing a "vintage" photo?

[Annie_M]

I have found a photo of my Dad's year book photo, and it's ok, but not great. Can anyone suggest a good app that would help me "improve" the photo?

Annie, I have always connected great photo editing to Photoshop but I haven’t used it in a long while, and it was a premium price. The other one I know of/used at all is Fotor. Seemed good but I just don’t use it enough to give it a recommendation. I’m lazy these days and just use the built in editing functions of Photos. (These are all Mac experiences I’m giving).
Piece of advice I’m sure you are aware of, Make sure to make a copy then only use new editing app on the copy. BOL…

Best overall photo restoration is PhotoGlory Pro.
Best free is GFP-GAN
I assume you mean on computer.

LOL Well, I was thinking on my iPad or iPhone, but maybe my PC would be better?!?!?!?

I gave GFP-GAN a try and am pleased with the results. Here is a before/after photo of my Dad's HS senior picture.

+1 for Ledsteplin, GFP-GAN looks to have been a solid recommendation. That's a very nice editing.
BTW Annie, your avatar pic and dad's pic, I see the resemblance. Good looking Dad and Daughter

Nice. Not sure any of the photo editing apps on iOS could do that well.

This iOS app may work well for photo repair and enhancement. I haven't used it, but a lot of the reviewers like it. Some don't. I'm guessing it works ok for minor blurring and scratches. But not for the really tough jobs. It's subscription based, so I would definitely read the reviews.
