The prompt
Restore and colorize this old photograph. Remove scratches, dust, creases, and stains, repair any torn or faded areas, and sharpen the details while keeping the original facial features and composition exactly the same. Add natural, realistic color with accurate skin tones and period-appropriate clothing colors. Keep it photorealistic, with no cartoon or over-smoothed look.

Tips and variations
