NanoBanana Pro· Image

Then carefully colorize the image, keeping skin tones, clothing, objects, and background realistic. Preserve the original style, lighting, and atmosphere without adding new elements or changing the identity of the people.
Old Photo Restoration
· Image
Restore and enhance an old damaged photo. Remove scratches, stains, and noise. Reconstruct faded or torn areas while preserving original details. Slightly sharpen the image for better clarity, but keep it realistic. Apply natural and era-appropriate colors to skin, hair, and clothing. Use a soft, balanced background color without being too striking. The final result should look like an old photo that has been realistically restored and colorized, while respecting its original appearance.

Why This Tag Is Useful
Manually colorizing a photo in an editor means guessing skin tone and clothing color for every person, which takes a lot of time. Colorization prompts get you a natural-looking result fast while keeping the original mood of the photo intact.
Tips for Crafting Prompts
- Mention the era the photo was likely taken in.
- Include any known details, like skin tone or clothing color.
- Use phrases like "natural color" or "realistic restoration."
- Ask for scratch and damage repair too if the photo needs it.
The more era and color detail you provide, the more natural the colorization result will be.
