Best use cases
Where this template works best
Use these cases to understand the practical output fit before loading a prompt into the GPT Image 2 editor.
Old photo restoration drafts
Clean up faded, scratched, folded, or low-resolution family photos before choosing the best direction for manual review.
Natural black-and-white colorization
Create restrained color drafts that preserve identity, period mood, clothing texture, and original background light.
Family archive visuals
Prepare keepsake albums, family history pages, archive displays, and social-ready memory posts from old source photos.
ID and portrait cleanup
Repair old ID photos, school portraits, or studio headshots while avoiding a glossy modern beauty retouch.
Tuning notes
Prompt tuning notes
Keep the scene structure intact, then replace subject, ratio, labels, materials, and constraints for more stable results.
Input guidance
Upload a clear old photo first, then describe scratches, fading, noise, colorization needs, identity preservation, and the archive-ready restoration target.
Preserve identity before polishing
Keep phrases like preserve identity, keep original facial structure, and natural restoration so the person does not become a new portrait.
Name the exact repair tasks
Separate scratches, dust, fading, fold marks, background stains, and colorization instead of asking only to enhance the photo.
The person no longer looks like the source
Add preserve identity, original face proportions, no beauty makeover, and use a clearer reference image with fewer occlusions.
The result looks too modern
Specify archive-ready restoration, keep period texture, and natural film grain while removing glossy skin or fashion-retouch language.
The colorization feels fake
Ask for muted realistic colorization and a period-appropriate palette, with no high-saturation filter or dramatic relighting.
