FAQ
Common questions about Vintage
What's included in the vintage style?
Vintage style includes 35mm film grain, faded/desaturated colors, sepia or warm tones, film edge vignette, and light leaks — all characteristic of analog photography from the 70s–90s.
Vintage vs Polaroid — what's the difference?
Polaroid is specifically instant camera aesthetic with the white frame border. Vintage is broader — 35mm film, any decade from 60s to 90s, no specific border.
Can I specify a decade (70s, 80s, 90s)?
Yes — append '1970s kodachrome film style' or '1990s 35mm disposable camera' to any generated prompt for era-specific results.
Does this work for black and white vintage?
Yes — add 'black and white film photograph' to the prompt. The cinematic style with dramatic lighting also produces excellent B&W results.
What's the best format for vintage photos?
Square (1:1) for an analog feel, or 4:5 for portrait. Avoid 16:9 — widescreen feels too modern.
