Thank you for showing all the steps! It really helps others learn.
The end result is fantastic!

Apart from a couple of my own photos I sourced Unsplash for essential elements.

Hi,
Thought it was about time I posted something new.....
Been working on the Lightbox Expo Challenge (Environmental Design!) for nearly a month now...for a bit of fun..and to learn something new!.

All Vector Construction in Affinity Designer with multiple layer embedded files and manipulation of adjustment layers.....mostly for re-colouring objects
Two images created for projects
Size had to be scaled to a multiple of 1940px width or height

EV01
Original Size is 9600px x 3880 px (had to scale to 1940px) and 300dpi

EV02
Original Size is 9600px x 4500 px and 300dpi
Extended the height of this one during building as the framework looked squashed forced into the original size!

 

Oh wow! Yes it really should have been!

I then had a go at colouring the photo. I started doing it before I saw that someone else had as well. Their version has much better colouring I think. I'll throw up what I got so far myself though. I think the colours are too light though.

You've done a great job of repairing a truly damaged photo!!
My only suggestion would be to make it fully black and white and increase the contrast a bit.
Here is my version:

Meant to post this for a while. Affinity can do the whole project. Not just images but accurate box design, books, layouts...the whole package. Exporting output across the globe for accurate printing in any size and colour is a must. Everything in this picture was designed and manufactured using Affinity Designer and Photo. It's not just a package...it's a design suite. When a container load of product arrives at your clients warehouse...it better be 100% right. I not only use Affinity...I trust it. Thanks Serif!

...and here's another one! (two in one afternoon - I am too generous! 😂 )

Thats amazing work!

Kriegsmarine U-Boats, UFO´s and ice, always a great topic for artwork. This is scratch built in Affinty Design and Affintiy Photo, a lot of late hours and psychedelic stoner music on the tube.
