Prompt Text

Edit the uploaded old photo. This is a restoration and colorization task, not a face-editing task.

IDENTITY PRESERVATION (NON-NEGOTIABLE): Keep every face and facial feature exactly as in the original. Do not reconstruct, regenerate, beautify, smooth, slim, de-age, age, or replace any face. When restoring, only repair damage: remove scratches, dust, creases, water damage, torn areas, and fading. Sharpen existing details without inventing new facial features. Preserve the original composition, facial proportions, expressions, skin texture, and era-accurate clothing.

RESTORATION: Repair all visible damage while maintaining the original identity and archival character of the photograph. Natural, archival-quality restoration, no artificial or plastic appearance.

COLORIZATION: After restoration, add realistic natural color. Use era-accurate skin tones, believable fabric colors, and soft natural lighting. Keep it subtle and true to life, not oversaturated. Do not change any faces or features. Do not invent details that were not present in the original.

TECHNICAL: High-resolution archival photo restoration, 8k detail, realistic period-authentic color palette, natural film texture, museum-quality finish.
