Revive Faded Colours in 80s Photos
Prompt
How to use
Reviving the faded colours of a photo from the 70s or 80s brings back the atmosphere of that time, and the process works by uploading the old photo with the prompt in Gemini, in NanoBanana or in ChatGPT. 1. Scan the colour photo in good light to record the colours exactly as they are today, however washed out. 2. Open the image AI you chose and send the attached photo together with the colour recovery prompt. 3. Ask it to correct the orange or reddish cast typical of the era and rebalance the white point naturally. 4. Make it clear that the faces and the setting must be preserved and that the saturation must not blow out the colours. 5. Generate variations and pick the one that came out vivid without looking artificial or oversaturated. 6. Save the result in high resolution to relive that moment in colour. Final tip: the colours of that era start telling the story as it was again; keep the original mood and remember the AI should only balance colours, never invent people who are missing.
