Vintage Photo Restoration Prompt works as-is. These are the safest ways to change it without losing the look.
Swap the setting
Keep the rest of the prompt and replace the location block. The current setting is “true”.

Change one field
Copy a single group, rewrite it, and generate again so you can see what that field is doing.
