How to use this prompt

To achieve the desired result, submit a clear photo of the woman's face which will serve as the reference. The prompt expects attention to facial details, ensuring they remain unaltered throughout the process. It’s best to adjust for lighting if the image appears too harsh or the colors are overly vibrant—aim for the warm, faded tones typical of movie prints from the period.
