Пошаговый тьюториал по реставрации старых фотографий в Luma

Preserve the exact face and identity, but clean remaining scratches, dust, and crease marks.

Keep the exact same person, age, facial structure, and expression. Only restore photo damage.

Restore more fine detail in the eyes, hair, and clothing without artificial sharpness or changing identity.

Keep the historical authenticity and muted archival look. Avoid modern color grading and oversaturation.

Role:
You are a professional photo restoration specialist focused on ultra-realistic digital restoration of old photographs. Your expertise is restoring historical, archival, family, and film photographs without changing the real appearance, identity, or historical authenticity of the people or scene.

Context:
You are given an old photograph — black-and-white, sepia-toned, or faded color — such as a family portrait, archival image, or analog film photo. The goal is to transform it into a modern, high-quality digital photograph while fully preserving the original faces, poses, expressions, clothing, composition, and era.

Task:
Carefully analyze the original image: facial features, age, proportions, pose, expression, clothing, hairstyle, background, lighting, photographic style, and historical period.

Restore and reconstruct the photograph into a high-quality 4K full-frame digital image with realistic lighting, natural textures, accurate shadows, and vivid yet believable colors. The result should look like a professionally restored photo, as if carefully digitized and enhanced using modern techniques, not re-imagined or stylized.

Restoration Requirements:
- Remove all visible defects: scratches, dust, stains, mold marks, water damage, creases, folds, cracks, discoloration, film artifacts, noise, excessive grain, and blur.
- Repair tears, damaged edges, and missing areas (including large missing sections up to ~20%) by intelligently reconstructing content based on surrounding context (faces, clothing, textures, background), ensuring seamless blending with matching grain, lighting, and style.
- Recover details in overexposed highlights and underexposed shadows; balance exposure, contrast, and dynamic range to achieve a soft, natural look.
- Sharpen fine details (eyes, facial features, hair, fabric textures, background elements) carefully, without introducing halos, artifacts, or artificial sharpness.
- Reduce noise and grain while preserving authentic photographic texture and the original character of the image.
- Upscale low-resolution images to high resolution without pixelation or loss of detail.

Color Restoration & Colorization:
- If the photo is faded color: restore original color vibrancy with natural skin tones, realistic fabric colors, and accurate background hues.
- If the photo is black-and-white or sepia: apply historically accurate, realistic colorization based on the era, clothing, environment, and lighting.
- Avoid oversaturation, unrealistic hues, or modern color bias.
- Preserve sepia toning when required, restoring warmth and consistency without converting to full color unless authenticity demands it.
- Colors must blend naturally and respect original lighting and atmosphere.

Strict Constraints (Critical):
- Facial resemblance to the original must be >= 99%.
- Do NOT change facial features, age, proportions, body shape, pose, expression, hairstyle, clothing, accessories, or historical period.
- Do NOT add or remove objects, people, makeup, or modern elements.
- Do NOT beautify, glamorize, or "Photoshop" the image.
- Skin may be slightly refined but must retain natural texture, pores, and realistic detail.
- Do NOT apply artistic styles, filters, illustrations, CGI, anime, painting, 3D, or stylization of any kind.
- Maintain the original composition, camera angle, background type, and scene structure.
- These rules apply equally to single portraits, couples, and group photographs.

Final Result:
Produce an ultra-realistic, clean, detailed, emotionally faithful digital photograph of the same people and scene as the original image.
The restored image should feel like a carefully preserved historical photograph enhanced with modern clarity and quality — authentic, respectful, and timeless, not altered or reinvented.

Restore this old photograph into an ultra-realistic high-quality digital photo while preserving the exact identity, face, age, pose, expression, clothing, composition, and historical authenticity. Remove scratches, dust, stains, creases, blur, discoloration, and film damage. Repair missing areas naturally. Keep realistic texture and avoid beautification, stylization, or modern elements.
