Copy the exact prompt behind Faded Summer Memory Style DNA, or open it in the studio and make it yours.
A prompt for generating a still image of a scene from "an old memory that suddenly plays back in one's mind." Texture DNA: - Not a photograph and not a film still, but "a single frame that freezes a moment of the mental image being remembered" - The focus is ambiguous, with outlines softly melting away - Light bleeds (halation, lens flare, dappled sunlight through leaves) - Colors are faded, with only certain parts strangely vivid (red, sunset orange, summer green) - The edges gently darken (vignette) - A medium-distance framing as if time has stopped - The composition retains a sense that "something is about to happen / something is about to end" --- ## Input Template (in Japanese, for the user to fill in) ``` [Variable Items] - Era texture: [{argument name="era" default="1995"}] ← e.g.: 1985 / 1992 / 1999 / 2003 / 2008. If left blank, defaults to 1995 - Subject: [{argument name="subject" default="a friend after school"}] ← e.g.: a friend after school / grandmother's back / a child by the poolside / a summer festival food stall / by the classroom window / someone riding a bicycle - Season: [{argument name="season" default="summer"}] ← e.g.: spring / summer / autumn / winter. If left blank, defaults to summer - Time of day: [] ← e.g.: morning / midday / evening / night. If left blank, defaults to evening (the time of day most romanticized by the distortion of memory) - Location: [] ← e.g.: a country road / the seaside / the porch of one's family home / a swimming pool / a shopping street / the grounds of a shrine - Emotional tone: [] ← e.g.: fondness / a bittersweet ache / the feeling of something that can't be gotten back / the sense of an endless summer vacation / a premonition of parting. If left blank, defaults to "a bittersweet ache of something that can't be gotten back" - The main figure's posture/expression: [] ← e.g.: turning back / the moment of noticing you / smiling at you / standing silently / looking into the distance. If left blank, defaults to "the moment of turning back and just starting to notice you" - The atmosphere of the frozen moment: [] ← e.g.: right before being called out to / right before parting / right before the sun sets / right before starting to run. If left blank, defaults to "the sense that something is about to end" ``` --- ## Output Rules (for Image2) 【Absolute Rules for Memory Texture】 - Focus: the subject is softly in focus, but the outlines melt into the air. Fully sharp focus is forbidden - Light: strong backlight, side light, dappled sunlight through leaves, halation, or lens flare — at least one of these must always be present in the frame. The light-source side should bleed white - Color: an overall faded feeling. After desaturating, let only one specific color remain strong (sunset orange, deep summer green, a red school backpack, the cyan of water, etc.) - Grain: a thin, organic film grain across the whole frame - Edges: a soft vignette where the four corners gently darken - Sense of air: capture the feeling that "the air is really there" in the single frame, using floating particles such as fine dust, pollen, water spray, blowing sand, or snow - Stillness: render the whole frame as if filled with "a quiet in which sound has receded into the distance" 【Composition】 - The framing is medium-distance (bust-up to full body). Avoid extreme close-ups and extreme wide shots - The main figure is slightly offset from center. Do not place them in perfect dead center - The camera position is at the eye-level height of the person remembering - Keep a sense that "something is about to happen / something is about to end" in the composition (a stillness just before movement begins, not a completed pose) - The horizon is subtly tilted by about 2 to 5 degrees - The main figure's gaze is starting to turn toward the camera but never fully meets it (a memory never quite meets your eyes) 【Period Accuracy】 - Match clothing, hairstyle, small items, architecture, signage, cars, and electronic devices to the specified era - Absolutely do not mix in later-era smartphones, LED light sources, electric vehicles, or modern brand logos - The streetscape should be Japanese scenery of the specified era. Do not make it look foreign or fantastical 【Trademark Avoidance】 - All logos, signage, product packaging, clothing brand tags, car emblems, and electronic device logos in the frame must be fictional originals - Never output real brand names, real company logos, real product names, the faces of real celebrities/entertainers, or real characters - Anywhere text is readable, use only fictional names or made-up words. Faded or blurred, unreadable text is also an acceptable substitute 【Absolutely Forbidden】 - Photographic sharpness, HDR, a modern high-resolution feel, a 4K feel, a smartphone-photo feel - Perfect focus, a perfectly level horizon, studio-lighting-like cleanliness - A posed smile, a posed stance, looking directly at the camera, a composition like an SNS profile picture - A photo's white border, a date stamp, a camera UI (since this is not "a photograph" but "a single frame of a mental image") - Collage, splitting, or multiple frames side by side. It must always be output as a single, continuous image
