Restore contrast and detail in a faded old print

№ 70

№ The prompt

Restore the faded contrast in this aged print. Recover the lost tonal range — rebalance the highlights and bring back detail hiding in the washed-out shadows. Keep the era-accurate texture and film grain; do not modernise the look or invent detail that the scan does not contain. The result should read as a well-preserved photograph of its time, not a contemporary edit.
