What this prompt changes
This is mostly a grade, not a repaint. The scene and the people stay recognizable, while color, contrast and texture shift toward an old film photograph. The tool may also change small details, such as adding a low sun flare.
What each phrase does
- Kodak Portra 400
- Naming a real film stock gives the model a color grade to copy: soft contrast and warm skin.
- golden hour
- Sets low, warm sunlight coming from the side.
- Warm amber highlights
- Pushes the brightest areas toward amber, as film does.
- soft halation
- Adds the faint red glow around bright edges that film produces.
- fine film grain
- Adds small, even texture. "Fine" avoids a heavy, noisy look.
Adapt it
- Replace "Kodak Portra 400" with "Fujifilm Superia 400" for cooler greens.
- Add "keep the faces exactly as in the original" so features do not change.
- Remove "golden hour" if your photo is shot indoors.
