Built for clear restoration intent

Useful for family photos and archives
Old portraits, wedding photos, school pictures, travel prints, and scanned albums can be repaired with the same upload-and-prompt workflow.
Fast enough for trying versions
Run a first restoration, adjust the prompt for color or sharpness, and generate another version without rebuilding the edit from scratch.
