    Yeah, AI tool is more recommended if you want to find an easy to enhance an image. It could be take a lot of time doing this with traditional photo editor but this can be done in seconds with an AI tool.

If you don’t want to use any third-party tools, Windows and macOS actually give you a few simple ways to clean things up. On Windows 11, you can open your scan in the built-in Photos app, click Edit → Adjustments, and use Clarity, Contrast, and Sharpness sliders — it’s basic, but surprisingly effective.

If you’re comfortable with command line, you can also use PowerShell’s magsick (from ImageMagsick, built into some systems) for batch enhancement:

magsick input.jpg -sharpen 0x1.5 -contrast -brightness-contrast 10x20 output.jpg

It’s not true “AI photo enhancer” magic, but it still makes those faded or blurry scans look a lot better without installing anything extra.
