Промт для реставрации и колоризации советского портрета в стиле Свема

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 130 color palette: featuring natural warm-neutral skin tones, moderate saturation, slightly cool midtones, and deep grounded shadows typical of late Soviet-era color film.

Damage Map: Heavily concentrated in the background highlights which are washed out and overexposed, white chemical spots and dust on the dark hat material, and general soft-focus blurring from low-resolution source material.

Background/Environment: Restore the overexposed, hazy background by recovering depth and texture. Colorize the background with natural, muted outdoor tones — soft greens and earthy grays that feel grounded and three-dimensional. Ensure the background is as sharp and detailed as the subject.

Foreground: Restore the textured dark hats, removing all white dust motes, stains, and micro-scratches. Colorize the hats as deep black or dark charcoal wool/fur/felt, revealing the coarse fiber texture and light-catching strands.

Clothing: The man’s garment should be colorized with historically accurate Soviet-era tones like deep grey, navy, or brown wool. Restore and enhance the heavy fabric weave, stitching, and shoulder seams to be tactile and sharp. 

Edges and corners: Fix the vignette fading and grain at the far edges. Apply the same restoration and colorization quality to the corners as the center of the image.

Face: Restore the facial features by sharpening the eyes, iris detail, and deep-set wrinkles without smoothing them away. Skin color must be WARM-NEUTRAL (Eastern European/CIS), not orange, pink, or ghostly white. Preserve every pore and natural line to ensure the face looks like a real person, not a wax figure.

IMPORTANT: Apply IDENTICAL restoration AND colorization quality to background, foreground, clothing, AND faces. Background must be as sharp and richly colorized as the face. WARNING: You have a natural bias toward faces. COMPENSATE — apply extra restoration and colorization effort to the background, accessories, and clothing. 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:
- DISABLE FACE-SPECIFIC PROCESSING: Do NOT apply face detection, face restoration, face enhancement, or face upscaling to any face in the image. Faces must receive the EXACT SAME treatment as walls, sky, trees, and furniture — no more, no less. Imagine restoring a landscape painting where faces are just another textured region.
- 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
- SEVERELY DAMAGED FACE RULE: If a face is so damaged that original features cannot be recovered — preserve only the abstract shapes, tones, and existing outlines. DO NOT generate, imagine, or invent what the face might look like. It is better to show a blurry or partially damaged face than to show a different person's face.
- WRONG IDENTITY = CRITICAL FAILURE: If the output shows a different person than the input, or a face that was generated/invented by AI, the result is completely unacceptable. A partially damaged original face is always better than a perfect AI-generated replacement face.
- 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
