Gemini Prompt To Restore Old Photos

Restore the uploaded old photograph with a conservative archival approach. Preserve every person's face, identity, age, expression, skin texture, clothing, pose and placement. Remove dust, scratches, small creases and scanning marks without erasing genuine facial features or historical details. Correct uneven fading and improve tonal balance gently. Keep a black-and-white original in black and white, and retain the existing palette of a color original. Apply only modest sharpening where real detail is present; do not invent eyes, teeth, hair strands or objects in heavily damaged areas. Preserve the original framing, film grain and period character. Leave uncertain details understated rather than reconstructing a new face. Return one restored image at the original aspect ratio, without added text or watermarks.
