Non Existence Vintage Photographs with GPT Image 2 📸

- Prompt 👇
a photographic image in the style of 1870, [SCENE DESCRIPTION], with [CHARACTERS described in period accurate clothing], [Describe the interaction].

The photo has an aged and worn appearance, as it was taken in 1870. It features prominent time-induced chemical stains, heavy grain, sepia toning, and deep scratches.

Significantly reduce the sharpness so that the details of the [SUBJECT] are not crisp, making the [SUBJECT] blurry and low-fidelity.

Greatly increase the wear of the photo, including small tears, missing corners, water damage, and small wormholes caused by insect damage. Add a prominent, jagged diagonal cut across the photo, mended clumsily with old, discolored tape.
