Professional Black-and-White Portrait Restoration & Colorization

Restore and colorize the uploaded damaged black-and-white portrait photo into a realistic, high-quality modern color photograph. **Preserve the person’s exact original identity and facial features without any changes. Do not alter the eyes, eyebrows, nose, mouth, lips, moustache, beard, ears, face shape, jawline, forehead, hairstyle, hairline, facial proportions, age, or natural expression.** The eyes, nose, and mouth must remain exactly as they appear in the original photo.
> Carefully reconstruct and recover the damaged, blurry, noisy, pixelated, and faded areas using the original photograph as the only reference. Remove scan noise, halftone dots, scratches, dust, stains, cracks, blur, compression artifacts, and paper damage while preserving the person’s natural skin texture and original facial details.
> Add realistic natural skin tone and accurate natural colors. Do not invent or redesign the face. Do not beautify, smooth, sharpen excessively, make the person younger, change the hairstyle, change the facial expression, or create a new AI-generated face.
> Make the final result look like a **recently captured high-quality professional portrait photograph**, with realistic skin texture, natural lighting, sharp but authentic facial details, balanced contrast, and clean image quality. Keep the original head position, face angle, framing, and composition unchanged. **No text, letters, watermark, border, or writing anywhere in the restored image.**
> **Highest priority: facial identity preservation. The original eyes, nose, and mouth must not change.**
