Send the scan or phone picture as a file (document) so Telegram does not compress it. In the caption write: memorial portrait, repair damage only if color is not wanted, otherwise natural colors, keep the face exactly.

Make it in TelegramLikeness first
The most important part of a memorial portrait is that it looks like the person. Compare eyes, mouth and hairline with other photos. If the AI changed something, rerun or choose the repair-only mode. A calm and honest result matters more than a bright one. The bot replies in English. You can switch the language any time with /lang.
Decisions for the family
Color is optional. Some families keep black and white to respect the original. Others like color for the sense of presence. Print both small copies and let the family choose. Keep the untouched scan and the notes about the restoration in the family archive. Compare faces with other photos of the same person, since the AI works from patterns and a rebuilt face may not match exactly.
Tips
- Show the result to a relative who knew them well.
- If any feature looks off, use the original face or rerun.
- Offer both the black-and-white and the color version.
- Do not rush. A good result may need two runs.
