Промт для реставрации и колоризации советского фотопортрета

Perform meticulous non-destructive restoration and colorization of this aged photograph. Restore, enhance, and colorize to maximum technical quality — crisp, noise-free, full of detail. Add historically accurate colors. Output MUST have the EXACT same aspect ratio as the input. Colorize the EXISTING photograph using SVEMA 32/64 color palette: natural skin tones with a neutral-cool bias, moderate contrast, and realistic saturation typical of mid-century Soviet portraiture. Restore the heavy silver-gelatin fading and chemical clouding concentrated in the upper corners and across the background.

Apply IDENTICAL restoration AND colorization quality to background, foreground, clothing, AND faces. The plain studio background must be cleaned of all grain, haze, and light leaks, colorized with a subtle, solid neutral-grey or taupe tone that remains sharp and noise-free from edge to edge.

Clothing — restore AND colorize: For the man’s Soviet military tunic and pilotka cap, restore the fabric texture; colorize in historically accurate olive-drab or protective khaki, ensuring the collar tabs (petlitsy) and insignia are sharp and distinct. For the woman’s dark jacket and light blouse, restore the heavy woolen texture of the outer garment and the delicate weave of the collar; colorize the jacket in a deep charcoal or navy and the blouse in a soft off-white. Background and clothing must be as sharp and richly colorized as the faces.

Edges and corners — restore with same care as the center, removing all vignetting and peripheral blurring. Preserve the sharpness of the pilotka’s peak and the woman's hair outlines against the background.

Faces: Restore facial features by removing the soft haze while preserving existing skin texture—pores, fine lines, and natural contours. Skin tone must be WARM-NEUTRAL, reflecting Eastern European heritage; strictly avoid orange, pink, or ghostly white tones. Ensure the eyes have clear iris detail and the hair shows individual strands rather than a flat mass.

WARNING: You have a natural bias toward faces. COMPENSATE—apply extra restoration and colorization effort to background, clothing, and the military uniform. Natural analog-film palette — moderate saturation, warm-neutral tones. ALL areas processed with EQUAL quality. Compensate for AI face-bias by over-processing background and clothing.

ANTI-BIAS ALERT: You naturally focus restoration/colorization on FACES while leaving background, clothing, and foreground under-processed. This is the #1 quality failure. Consciously counteract this.

MANDATORY UNIFORM QUALITY CHECK:
- Background sharpness = Face sharpness (NOT less)
- Clothing detail = Face detail (fabric weave, buttons fully visible)
- Foreground objects = Faces (flowers, grass, objects NOT blurry)
- Edges/corners = Center of image (NOT softer or less restored)
Any area less sharp or colorized than faces is a FAILURE — redo that area.

ABSOLUTE RULES — NEVER VIOLATE:
- QUALITY + REPAIR MODE: enhance technical quality (remove noise/grain, apply uniform sharpening, improve dynamic range) uniformly across the ENTIRE image, AND repair physical damage. The goal is the same photo at maximum possible quality — as if shot with a modern camera
- CONTENT LOCK: do NOT change people, objects, composition, style, or era. Same scene, same identity — just technically better. Sharper, cleaner, noise-free everywhere
- DO NOT recreate, reimagine, or regenerate any part of the scene — work only with what is already in the photo
- DO NOT add, invent, or hallucinate any part of the image that is not in the original
- FACE RECONSTRUCTION FORBIDDEN: Do NOT rebuild, reconstruct, or regenerate any face. Ensure no artificially generated face replaces any original face in the photo. Pixel-level repair only — remove damage that covers a face, but never reconstruct the face itself
- DO NOT change, replace, or alter any person's face, body, or identity. 100% original subject identity and facial features must be preserved
- DO NOT change facial expression — mouth shape, lip curve, and overall expression must be IDENTICAL to the original
- DO NOT change eye gaze direction — eyes must look in the exact same direction as in the original photo
- SKIN TEXTURE: Apply frequency-separation logic — remove temporary surface damage (chemical stains, scratches, foxing) but strictly preserve all underlying skin texture: pores, fine lines, wrinkles, natural imperfections. Do NOT smooth the skin to a plastic finish
- INTENSITY: Apply strong, professional-grade quality enhancement uniformly. The goal is a noticeably better, sharper, cleaner result — not a barely-touched version of the original
- DO NOT add or remove any person or object
- DO NOT modernize clothing, hairstyles, or any visual elements. Preserve the original era, style, and visual aesthetic of the photo
- FILM GRAIN / NOISE = DEFECTS: Film grain, sensor noise, and age-related softness are technical defects to ELIMINATE — they are NOT authentic character to preserve. Remove them aggressively across the ENTIRE image
- ASPECT RATIO CRITICAL: Output must have the EXACT same aspect ratio as the input. DO NOT crop, add borders, expand canvas, or shift composition. Wrong aspect ratio = critical failure
- CANVAS SIZE: Output must have EXACTLY the same canvas dimensions as the input. DO NOT expand, add borders, or fill in areas outside the original photo boundaries. If the photo has torn/missing edges — keep them as-is or darken, but NEVER extend the canvas
- SHARPNESS: Every pixel of the output must be crisp and sharp. NO softness, NO blur, NO smoothing anywhere. Blurry output is a critical failure
- SKIN COLOR: Eastern European skin = warm-neutral to cool-neutral, medium tone. NEVER red or orange. NEVER ghostly pale or washed-out. NEVER airbrushed or plastic. DO NOT add acne, spots or marks not in the original
- COLOR SATURATION: Keep overall saturation MODERATE — natural analog film look. NOT vivid digital. NOT pale or desaturated`
- SKIN TONES: natural, warm, lifelike — NOT red, NOT orange, NOT pale/washed-out, NOT plastic/airbrushed
- DO NOT smooth, airbrush, or beautify faces — preserve ALL natural skin texture (pores, subtle imperfections)
- SATURATION: moderate and natural — like a real color photograph. NOT oversaturated, NOT pale/washed-out
- CONTRAST: moderate — natural tonal range, no HDR
- All colors natural and lifelike — real photograph look
- Apply uniform sharpness to the ENTIRE image — NO background blur
