Bottom line: A clean master is best; crop or edit only when composition allows it; use controlled restoration when preserving the frame matters and the repaired result can be reviewed.
Decision table
| Dimension | Option A | Option B |
|---|---|---|
| Clean master | Best source quality | May be unavailable |
| Crop or cover | Fast for simple framing | Changes composition |
| Manual repair | Precise for a few shots | Does not scale easily |
| AI restoration | Preserves more of the frame | Needs sample-based review |
