Enhance 36 Vintage Photos

I have a collection of 36 scans—mostly black-and-white with a handful in color—that I would like brought back to life. I’m after a moderate level of enhancement: sharpening, balanced contrast and brightness, plus light touch-ups where you see faded areas that can be recovered. Please do not colorize the monochrome shots; I want them to stay true to their original look, just cleaner and clearer.

You may use Photoshop, Lightroom or any comparable retouching tools, as long as you work non-destructively and preserve as much original detail as possible. When you finish, deliver the best possible enhancements based on the quality of the originals. For example, some images are over 50 years old and reproduced from slides, so achieving "high resolution" may not always be feasible. Additionally, Pict 0013.jpg needs to be flipped, and approximately 12 color images require only minimal adjustments.

Acceptance will be based on:
• No artificial color added to the B&W images
• Faded sections visibly restored without haloing or over-sharpening
• Overall clarity and tonal balance improved while maintaining the photo’s character
• Final JPEGs supplied in a single organized folder, each file clearly named to match its source scan

If this fits comfortably within your skill set, I look forward to seeing your results.
