2016 Sun-Faded Tumblr Effect (Early Instagram Restoration)

Apply a 2016 aesthetic color grading inspired by early Instagram. Use warm, sun-faded lighting with noticeable yellow and golden highlights, slightly overexposed whites, and lifted blacks. Lower contrast while preserving soft shadow depth. Color balance should lean toward golden-yellow highlights, rosy pink skin tones, and lavender–magenta shadows, creating a warm yet dreamy color split typical of 2014–2016 Tumblr photos. Greens should lean yellow, and whites should feel creamy rather than neutral. Reconstruct clarity from low-resolution sources by restoring fine details such as individual hair strands, eyelashes, skin texture, and fabric weave, without harsh sharpening. Add fine digital grain reminiscent of iPhone 5/6 cameras, with mild lens softness. Saturation should feel uneven and sun-washed. Upscale to true 2K resolution with natural detail while maintaining a candid, nostalgic Tumblr aesthetic. Hard rule: Do not change the face, hair, expressions, composition, background, or aspect ratio.
