The prompt

Restore this damaged photograph. Repair the tears, creases, scratches and spotting, and rebuild any missing areas by continuing the pattern and texture around them — conservatively, inventing nothing that changes what the picture shows. Correct the fading and the colour cast, restore black and white points and recover detail in the shadows. Prioritise the faces: reconstruct them carefully and keep every identifying feature exactly as it is. Keep the original grain rather than smoothing the image flat.

“Use it” opens the editor with this prompt already loaded — add your photo and generate. Copy works anywhere else: ChatGPT, Gemini, Midjourney.

One thing that helps

Scan the print at 600dpi or higher first. Restoration can only use the detail that's actually there.
