A filter prompt applies one signature treatment to a photo instead of rebuilding the whole scene. These four cover the most-wanted era looks — grainy VHS tape, pastel Miami grade, laser grid overlay and airbrush poster art. Stack them, tweak them, or use them as-is.
Best for: Grainy home-video look with tracking lines.
Describe my photo with a full VHS-tape filter applied: horizontal tracking lines, soft chromatic aberration at the edges, a faint timestamp in the corner reading 'REC 06 13 1985', muted contrast, and slight tape warping. Keep the original subject recognizable. Photo: [upload or describe your photo].
Best for: Pastel pink and teal sunset palette.
Apply a Miami Vice style grade to this picture: pastel pink and teal palette, glowing sunset horizon, palm-tree silhouettes, gentle haze, and crisp highlights on any white clothing. Keep the original composition unchanged and boost the neon reflections in windows and water. Photo: [upload or describe your photo].
Best for: Synthwave grid floor and striped sun.
Add a retro laser-grid effect to my image: a glowing purple perspective grid floor stretching to the horizon, a striped synthwave sun setting behind the subject, thin scanlines across the whole frame, and deep navy shadows. Preserve facial details and output the final image only. Photo: [upload or describe your photo].
Best for: Hand-painted 1984 movie-poster finish.
Recreate this photo as a 1984 airbrushed movie-poster illustration: smooth gradient skin tones, a dramatic backlight halo, halftone print texture, bold complementary colors, and hand-painted shine on hair and leather. Keep the likeness recognizable. Photo: [upload or describe your photo].
A picture prompt rebuilds the whole scene from scratch. A filter prompt keeps your existing photo or description and layers one era treatment on top — faster when you already like the composition and only want the decade.
Yes. Replace the bracket with a vivid description of the photo instead. Naming the subject, lighting and background gives the model enough to apply the filter faithfully.
The VHS filter wins for realism because tracking lines and a timestamp sell the era instantly. The Miami grade is the safest for portraits; the laser grid is the boldest for graphics.
You can, but order matters — name the base treatment first and the overlay second, and ask for subtle application of the second one. Stacking three or more usually muddies the result.
