Промт для восстановления и колоризации снимка в стиле советской пленки

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 ORWO Color NC / SVEMA 130 color palette: this film features moderate saturation with natural warm-neutral skin tones, slightly cool midtones, and muted but grounded earth tones typical of late 1970s Soviet photography.

Damage map: Remove white chemical spots and dust speckles concentrated on the central figures, the lower ground area, and the upper right sky. Erase the dark film strip border along the top and the light flare artifacts on the left edge. Remove grain and noise from the foggy background while maintaining silhouettes.

Background: Restore the distant Soviet city skyline across the frozen river; colorize with hazy blues and greys. The frozen water should have a complex palette of off-whites, icy blues, and slushy greys. Ensure the foggy atmosphere is clean of noise, maintaining a smooth but detailed gradient.

Foreground: Restore the stone embankment and textured concrete benches; remove stains and grit. Colorize stone with natural granite greys and beige tones, ensuring the carved decorative panels on the benches are sharp and clear. The ground must show detailed wet/dry contrast in the pavement without losing texture.

Clothing: This is PRIORITY. Restore and colorize to show distinct fabric weaves. The fur hats (ushankas) must show individual hair detail and natural brown/sable/black tones. The man on the far left wears a heavy wool overcoat (restore pilling and texture, colorize as charcoal or deep forest green). The woman’s coat should show thick black wool texture with a light-colored fur trim collar. The man on the far right wears a mottled fur or heavy patterned cognac-toned coat; maximize the varied texture and sheen of the material. The central suitcase should have a detailed leather/vinyl texture in tan or brown.

Edges and corners: Restore the upper black strip to match the sky. Repair the lower-left corner pavement details and the right-hand bench curve, ensuring no softening occurs at the frame boundaries.

Faces: Restore eyes, lips, and hair with natural clarity. Skin must be warm-neutral and alive, avoiding any orange, pink, or ghostly white tones. Preserve the natural grain of skin texture, avoiding a waxy or airbrushed finish.

Natural analog-film palette — moderate saturation, warm-neutral tones. ALL areas processed with EQUAL quality. Apply IDENTICAL restoration and colorization quality to background, foreground, and clothing as to the faces. WARNING: You have a natural bias toward faces. COMPENSATE — apply extra restoration and colorization effort to the stone embankment, the frozen river, and the heavy winter textiles.

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
