PromptRestore and colorize the provided vintage black-and-white photograph of two young sailors standing shoulder-to-shoulder. Steps to perform: 1) Straighten and lightly crop to improve composition while preserving both subjects fully. 2) Remove surface defects: eliminate scratches, dust, and small blemishes across the image, blending repairs naturally into surrounding film grain. 3) Apply moderate noise reduction that preserves approximately 30–40% of original film grain to keep authentic texture; avoid over-smoothing skin and fabric. 4) Reconstruct and retouch facial details and uniform edges where details have been lost—preserve natural facial features and expressions. 5) Apply local sharpening selectively to eyes, mouth, collar, and uniform edges to restore perceived detail without increasing noise. 6) Natural colorization: render realistic skin tones with slight warm undertones; color the jackets in deep navy blue; render the sailor undershirts as white with navy horizontal stripes; color the captain's hat appropriately (dark navy/black with gold or brass insignia details if visible). Keep the background neutral cool-gray with subtle warm light from the left side (preserve original lighting direction). 7) Correct tonal balance, contrast, and dynamic range: lift deep shadows slightly to reveal face and clothing detail while maintaining vintage contrast. 8) Output two final files: (A) restored colorized image with a 2x upscale for high-quality output; (B) restored artifact-free black-and-white archival copy at original resolution. Deliver outputs optimized for print (high-quality TIFF) and web (high-quality JPEG). Notes: avoid invented modern clothing details; keep historical accuracy and natural-looking colors; minimize color bleeding and haloing around subjects. Preserve original composition and lighting.
