Fix scratches, fading, and blur in one careful pass

BeforeAfter

№ The prompt

Repair this damaged photo in one pass. Remove the surface scratches and dust, rebalance the faded tones, and gently sharpen the soft-focus areas that have recoverable detail. Correct each kind of damage conservatively — do not over-sharpen into halos or smooth the texture into a plastic finish. Keep the original film grain and authentic texture, and do not invent detail that is not already in the photo.
