The prompt
PROMPT · EN
Transform the uploaded photo into a photorealistic, trendy 1980s American retro photo. Keep the exact same subject count, identity, facial features, age group, gender, and overall composition. Do not add or remove people. Preserve the main pose and mood, while restyling the hair, outfit, accessories, and background into a hot and stylish mid-1980s American aesthetic. Make it feel like a real vintage photo from 1985 in the US: fashionable and trendy, warm faded tones, soft direct sunlight, subtle film grain, slight print wear, and a nostalgic Pinterest-worthy mood. Replace modern elements with era-appropriate 1980s details. Add a small orange-red 1980s-style date stamp in one top corner. Photorealistic, highly detailed, no text, no watermark, no logo.
Paste it in English exactly as written. It works best that way, even if you chat in another language.
