Enhance a soft, noisy old photo without inventing detail

BeforeAfter

№ The prompt

Enhance this soft, noisy photo. Increase sharpness on detail that is genuinely present, reduce grain noise, and gently recover faded clarity and contrast. Do not invent or reconstruct any detail — faces, textures, or background — that is not already visible in the image. Where an area is too damaged or blurred to recover, leave it as it is rather than fabricating it. The result should look like a cleaner version of the same photo, not a new one.
