№ 76 · RESTORATION

Remove only scratches and creases, leave the tones alone

№ 76

№ The prompt

Repair only the physical damage on this scan: scratches, creases, dust spots, and torn edges. Reconstruct each damaged spot from the surrounding texture so it blends in. Do not change the colour, contrast, or tone of the photo, and do not touch the undamaged areas or anyone's face beyond removing damage that crosses it. Keep the original grain. This is a damage-repair-only edit, not a full restoration.
