1,140 charactersUltra-realistic editorial portrait using the uploaded face reference, preserving exact facial features, skin tone, and proportions. Displayed inside a retro 1990s CRT computer interface titled “Instagram.exe”. Classic grey-blue OS window with pixel fonts, menu bar (“File • Edit • View • Options • Help”), and “Back” / “Next” buttons. Bottom filmstrip thumbnails labeled “Mac ’86”, “Apple II”, and “CGA 4”, showing alternate portraits of the same subject. Main image: shoulders-up beauty portrait, 85mm lens look, shallow depth of field, three-quarter pose, slight head tilt, calm gaze just past camera, neutral parted lips, natural editorial expression. Soft studio lighting from front-left with subtle fill light and cool ambient glow. CRT monitor aesthetic with curved screen distortion, scanlines, screen glare, chromatic aberration, cyan-blue digital tint, mild desaturation, film grain, digital noise, compression artifacts, soft vignette, and blurred UI edges. Hyper-realistic fashion photography embedded in a nostalgic vintage photo-viewing program, resembling a scanned CRT monitor screenshot from a professional model database.
How to use it
Upload a clear face reference first, because the prompt asks the model to keep the exact facial features. Keep the CRT details, the scanlines, the cyan-blue tint and the filmstrip thumbnails, since those carry the vintage screen look; you can rename the window or the thumbnail labels to suit your own project. It was shared as a GPT Image 2 prompt, and the result works well as a moody profile image or a nostalgic social post.
