What this workflow is for

Before you begin.
Are the colors historically accurate?
Colors are inferred. The result is not proof of the original colors.
Should I restore damage first?
For a scratched photo, consider a separate restoration pass and inspect it before coloring.
What happens if processing fails?
A technical failure restores the task credits. Credit restoration is different from a refund to your payment method.
How long are files kept?
The planned file window is at most 24 hours from upload, shared by all results. Processing stays disabled until storage cleanup and provider retention are verified. Read the current policy.
