## Prompt

```text
Using the provided reference image, refine and restore the old damaged photo into a clean, realistic original snapshot. Remove all cracks, creases, scratches, faded discoloration, stains, and paper damage, and reconstruct any missing or obscured areas naturally. Preserve the same child, facial identity, joyful laughing expression, hairstyle with pigtails, yellow flowers beside both ears, checkered floral dress with white collar, pose, close portrait framing, and outdoor background. Convert the aged pinkish tint into natural color, sharpen details, improve lighting and contrast, and make the result look like an authentic modern film photograph rather than an illustration. Do not change the subject’s age, clothing design, composition, or expression; do not add extra people, text, borders, or watermark.
