Restore and Colorize Old Photo

📸 INPUT REFERENCE: Use the uploaded old or damaged photo as the base — preserve every real facial feature, pose, clothing detail, posture and background element exactly as they appear in the original, even where faded, scratched or unclear 🔧 RESTORATION TASK: Repair all visible damage — scratches, tears, creases, water stains, dust spots and faded or missing areas. Sharpen blurred or soft facial features using context clues from the surrounding image. Reconstruct any small missing details (edges of clothing, background texture) naturally and seamlessly so no repair looks obvious 🎨 COLORIZATION: If the photo is black and white, sepia or faded, add natural, historically accurate color — realistic skin tones based on visible ethnicity and lighting direction, period-appropriate clothing colors for the apparent era, natural sky, foliage and environment tones that match the season and setting visible in the photo 💡 LIGHTING & EXPOSURE CORRECTION: Balance overall exposure so both shadow and highlight areas reveal clear detail, remove yellowing, fading or color cast caused by age, correct any uneven exposure from the original capture 🖌️ STYLE: Photorealistic restoration — the final result must look like a real, clean modern photograph, never a painting, illustration or stylized rendering 🚫 IDENTITY PRESERVATION: Never alter facial structure, expression, body proportions, or identity of any person in the photo — this is restoration only, never reinvention or beautification 📐 ASPECT RATIO: Preserve the original photo's exact aspect ratio and framing — do not crop, extend or recompose
