JSON Prompt Restores Old Photos With Damage Repair and 4x ESRGAN Upscaling
HeyZoyaKhan · x · 2026-09-08
The author shared a structured JSON prompt claimed to restore low-resolution, blurred, or damaged old photos.
The prompt is modular:
- Damage repair: fill scratches, repair tears and creases, remove dust via context-aware infilling with realistic texture matching
- Color grading: restore natural vibrancy, balance lighting, correct fading
- Facial enhancement: identity-preserving, keeps pores and micro-details, avoids plastic/waxy/oversmoothed looks
- Post-processing: auto contrast plus 4x ESRGAN upscaling
Ready to paste into any image-editing model for photo restoration.
