I tried it out on a photo of relatives on my Russian side.

id a great job of removing the small scratches.

It also removed the left eye of the man in the center of the picture.

Not worth the price (free, for now), IMO. I tried it on several old photos and was cautiously optimistic, but wound up really underwhelmed. Not ready for real world use at the moment. I’m sure they will start charging for the service (per their About page), once it is of any value.
