I digitised our family photos but a lot of them were damaged (shifted colours, spills, fingerprints on film, spots) that are difficult to correct for so many images. I've been waiting for image gen to catch up enough to be able to repair them all in bulk without changing details, especially faces. This looks very good at restoring images without altering details or adding them where they are missing, so it might finally be time.

I've been waiting for that, too. But I'm also not interesting in feeding my entire extended family's visual history into Google for it to monetize. It's wrong for me to violate their privacy that way, and also creepy to me.

Am I correct to worry that any pictures I send into this system will be used for "training?" Is my concern overblown, or should I keep waiting for AI on local hardware to get better?

You're looking for Flux Kontext, a model you can run yourself offline on a high end consumer GPU. Performance and accuracy are okay, not groundbreaking, but probably enough for many needs.
