Ultra-photorealistic restoration and colorization of a vintage black-and-white photograph.
STRICT IDENTITY PRESERVATION:
Do NOT alter faces in any way. Preserve 100% exact facial identity, bone structure, proportions, distance between facial features, eye shape, nose shape, lips, jawline, ears.
No beautification, no symmetry correction, no age modification, no expression change.
No Al reinterpretation. No face regeneration. Work ONLY with existing pixels.
SOURCE-LOCK:
Use the original image as the absolute ground truth.

SOURCE-LOCK:
Use the original image as the absolute ground truth.
Do not invent or hallucinate missing details.
Do not replace textures or redraw features.
Only enhance what is already present.
RESTORATION TASKS ONLY:
- Remove noise, dust, scratches, compression artifacts
- Improve sharpness with natural detail reconstruction (no oversharpening)
- Recover micro-contrast and tonal depth
- Preserve original grain structure (film-like, subtle)
PHOTOREALISTIC DETAIL:
Maintain realistic skin texture (pores, fine lines, natural imperfections)
No plastic skin, no smoothing filters, no artificial skin generation
COLORIZATION (CONTROLLED):
Apply historically accurate, natural color tones
Skin tones must be realistic and subtle (no oversaturation)
Clothing colors inferred conservatively, no bright or artificial colors
Lighting must remain consistent with original scene
CINEMATIC PARAMETERS:
85mm lens look, f/1.8 depth of field simulation
Natural perspective compression
Soft cinematic lighting, gentle rim light (only if already implied)
Realistic shadow falloff, ambient occlusion, contact shadows
TONALITY & GRADING:
ACES color grading adapted carefully
High dynamic range, deep blacks, soft highlight roll-off
No crushed shadows, no blown highlights
OPTICAL REALISM:
CRITICAL RESTRICTIONS:

No changes to pose, composition, or framing
FINAL RESULT:

Timeless, emotionally accurate, historically faithful
