How restore faded photo

Hi all,

Lot of thanks for your advice.

On GIMP
To restore faded photos tinted with yellowish color, most
time I run;

  1. Colors → Auto → White Balance
    OR
  2. Colors → Levels → Auto Input Level

It is very simple only with one click. But they are NOT 100% workable in all cases therefore I begin looking for other solutions.

The faded photo was first scanned on Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra mobile phone with macro lens at 1.0. Then I cropped the positive digital photo on GIMP and ran;
Colors → Auto → White Balance

No further post-editing was made.

The wall is in white color according to my recollection. I captured the photo.

Regards
