Old photos should not come back looking new, they should come back looking remembered properly. I’d retouch the TIFF fully in GIMP, no AI, keeping the vintage black and white character intact while carefully restoring faded tones, reducing noise, removing dust and small marks, and sharpening faces or textures only where it helps the print. The layered XCF will stay organized so you can review or adjust the work later, with final JPEG or PNG ready for print and web. Could you share the scanned TIFF and confirm the print size you want? Let’s restore the photo without stealing its age. Ready to jump in, Syeda Rumaisa
