Use case: style-transfer
Asset type: Vertical top-bottom comparison style transfer poster
Primary request: Transform any input real photo into a "field hand-drawn archive card record style" top-bottom comparison transfer image.
Input images: The input photo is the sole source of truth, using only the subject, pose, quantity, structure, spatial relationships, and confirmable colors from the photo.
Scene/backdrop: The image is vertical with approximately a 3:4 ratio; the upper half completely retains the real photographic texture, original composition, and natural light of the input photo as a clear photo recording area; the lower half becomes an off-white, vintage archive card with slight fibers and old paper deckle edges.
Subject: No limit on subjects, can be people, animals, buildings, street scenes, nature, vehicles, interiors, food, or common objects; extract the most recognizable subject and two or three details from the original photo, do not fix the theme to ships or ports.
Style/medium: The lower half uses dark brown pen/marker lines, slight dry ink scratches, and a small amount of crayon or vintage screen-printed color blocks, like travel archive cards, field survey cards, or hand-drawn observation records on the back of old postcards; lines retain hand-drawn jitter, local repeated strokes, and uneven ink, do not make it a smooth vector illustration or a common filter.
Composition/framing: The lower half reorganizes the original photo information and does not copy the original framing proportionally: scale down the subject or magnify parts into archive illustrations, arrange a small number of local detail boxes, arrows, numbers, legends, or material fields around them; leave clear off-white breathing space, the layout looks like a complete physical card. A short English title, a short field related to the photo facts, and an extremely short observation can be added, but no long paragraphs of text.
Lighting/mood: The upper half is natural and real; the lower half has soft paper-surface light, a restrained vintage record feel, quiet and observational.
Color palette: Based on off-white, dark brown, grey-blue, or dark red, extracting only one or two low-saturation accent colors from the original photo; do not apply a fixed yellow-blue color scheme.
Materials/textures: Visible paper fibers, old card edges, slight printing misalignment, dry ink broken lines, handwritten fields, tiny numbers, and local color blocks; textures must participate in the composition, not just adding a grain filter.
Text (verbatim): Only generate short titles/fields/observation sentences explicitly specified by the prompt; if the location cannot be confirmed, do not fabricate place names, dates, coordinates, brands, URLs, or long paragraphs.
Constraints: The upper half must be a recognizable real original image; the lower half must be a hand-drawn archive reconstruction of the same photo content; strictly top-bottom partitioning, no side-by-side, no nine-grid, no multiple different photos, no "Original/AI" labels, no watermarks; maintain subject identity, quantity, pose, architectural structure, topographic relationship, and observation angle; the lower half must change at least two of: subject scale, cropping, information density, or spatial organization; the lower half must not be a mere isomorphic copy of the original image.
Avoid: Pure color grading, common photo filters, 3D rendering, cartoon templates, irrelevant travel icons, adding people or landmarks out of thin air, fake Chinese, QR codes, long paragraphs, or over-crowded sticker collages.
