Промт для восстановления и колоризации старого портретного фото

Colorize the EXISTING photograph using the SVEMA 32/64 color palette: moderate contrast with a natural, slightly cool color bias. Midtones should favor authentic warm-neutral skin tones while shadows remain deep and neutral without color bleeding.

Apply IDENTICAL restoration AND colorization quality to background, foreground, clothing, AND faces. Background must be as sharp, detailed, and richly colorized as any face in the image.

1. DAMAGE MAP: Focus restoration on the heavy grain and blurriness across the entire frame. Remove the sepia-yellow chemical staining. Stabilize the vertical white border on the right. Fix the artifacts and low-contrast haze obscuring the lower half of the figures.

2. BACKGROUND/ENVIRONMENT: Identify the dark, mottled backdrop as a typical Soviet military studio curtain. Restore it to a deep, textured olive-drab or neutral dark grey. Ensure the grain is reduced to reveal the fabric texture of the backdrop, maintaining sharpness to the very edges of the frame.

3. FOREGROUND OBJECTS: Restore and colorize the circular object held by the soldier on the left—identify it as a lifebuoy or equipment piece; colorize it in matte white with realistic metallic or rope detailing. Restore the wooden handle/tool held by the seated soldier, giving it a natural satin wood-grain finish and rich brown tones.

4. CLOTHING: Focus on the Red Army winter uniforms (shinel or telogreika). Restore the thick wool texture, stitching, and button details. Colorize with historically accurate Soviet "khaki" (a brownish-olive). Colorize the leather belts in deep, dark brown with metallic brass patina on the buckles. Restore the ushanka and pilotka hats to show individual fur fibers and heavy wool felt texture.

5. EDGES AND CORNERS: Remove all fading and light-leaks at the corners. Apply the same level of sharpening and detail recovery to the soldiers’ sleeves and hats as used on the facial features.

6. FACES: Colorize the skin as WARM-NEUTRAL to COOL-NEUTRAL. Strictly avoid orange, red, or ghostly white tones. Recover micro-details in the eyes and lips without artificial smoothing. Maintain the natural skin texture visible in the grain; do not airbrush or create a waxy appearance.

Natural analog-film palette—moderate saturation, warm-neutral tones. ALL areas processed with EQUAL quality. WARNING: You have a natural bias toward faces. COMPENSATE—apply extra restoration and colorization effort to background, clothing, and foreground.

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:
- YOU ARE RESTORING/COLORIZING AN EXISTING PHOTO — not generating a new one. Every pixel must correspond to the original image.
- 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
- DO NOT change the framing or composition — keep it exactly the same
- DO NOT add any new damage, folds, creases, tears, dark borders, vignettes, or artifacts
- DO NOT change, replace, or alter any person's face, body, or identity
- DO NOT change facial expression (мимика лица) — 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; do NOT redirect a gaze or correct an asymmetry that exists in the original
- DO NOT add or remove any person or object
- DO NOT modernize clothing, hairstyles, or any visual elements
- Keep the exact same framing, crop, and aspect ratio as the original
- 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
