The family sent the only portrait of the grandparents but it’s torn, missing bits and faded; the daughter insists it should feel like an old photo, not a modern restoration. I’m nervous about inventing features where detail is gone. Tell me exactly what can be reconstructed convincingly, what must remain visibly repaired as part of the photo’s history, and a conservative step-by-step repair plan that keeps grain and age while making it whole for the album.
