Hi! Help!

Can anyone tell me where to begin fixing this, please? I have another image of him but it's not so great...

Edit: So I've cleaned some of the scratches and used a sharpened version of his other face. Is this the right way or can I use some kind of AI to enhance this, please?

Oh wow! There's no fixing that. There's just not enough information to work with. I did try to see what the Neural Filter 'Photo Restoration' would make of it, but I got this worrying error message 😞

You wouldn't use the clone tool. You borrow tone where you can find it and slowly build up with a 50% opacity soft brush. Then you blur to smooth it, and add some grain. In a case like this you would have borrow the etes nose and mouth from other old pictures, and that's where it falls down because it won't look like who it is anymore.

Might make a nice Halloween mask, though.

This is as good as I can get it, I could mirror his face to have the light coming from the same side on both of them, she may not notice 🙏 The client sees it on monday! Just hoping for a gushing responce and not "looks nothing like him!"
