Photo editing
Restore and colorize an old photo
Repair scratches, fix fading and add historically plausible color to family photos from decades ago.
The prompt
Restore this old damaged photograph: repair the scratches, tears and faded areas, sharpen the facial details, then colorize it with natural, historically accurate colors appropriate for the 1960s. Preserve the original composition, faces and expressions exactly
Pro tips
State the decade so clothing and tone colors stay period-accurate. Run restoration and colorization as two steps for badly damaged photos.
