Feature Request: Historical & Cultural Photo Restoration Mode

I am the founder of QashqAI Voice, a cultural and language preservation initiative.

I would like to propose a new feature for OpenAI.

Millions of historical family photographs and cultural archive images are damaged by age. While current AI restoration is impressive, it sometimes changes facial identity, traditional clothing, or important historical details.

I propose a dedicated “Historical & Cultural Preservation Mode” that prioritizes:

• Identity preservation
• Historical authenticity
• Cultural accuracy
• Restoration of scratches, fading and damage without altering people’s faces
• Support for museums, archives, indigenous communities, and cultural heritage organizations

This feature would help preserve humanity’s cultural memory while respecting historical truth and authenticity.

Thank you for considering this proposal.

Hey siefi.aslani, welcome to the forum!

I'll pass this feedback along to the specialized team so they can review your proposal and evaluate whether a Cultural Preservation Mode is something that can be implemented.
