Keep all five layers and swap what’s under them: your shop, your budget, your city. You get four covers and the post text.

The prompt, as used

Verbatim. Copy it, or let Queenie swap in your own details.

Refer to the old photo restoration method, vintage texture, visual storytelling, and publishing tone of the case study "Back to the Past" to generate a new set of retro old photo posts. New theme: {fill in the photo theme you want to restore, rebuild, or replicate} Reference platform: Xiaohongshu Content direction: Retro old photo posts Creation method: Retain the nostalgic emotion, film/photo paper texture, character relationships, era atmosphere of the scene, and restoration constraints from the original case; if it is photo restoration, it must be faithful to the original identity, facial features, composition, and historical context, avoiding excessive beautification, redrawing, false historical information, and modern digital plastic feel. Please output: 1. Cover title and subtitle; 2. 6-9 page visual script, each page including scene description, main copy, era/texture keywords, and save guide; 3. Visual prompts that can be directly used for image generation or photo restoration, explaining requirements for characters, scene, lighting, film grain, damage repair, and color restoration; 4. Publishing suggestions: title length, tags, image ratio, and platform tone. Constraints: Do not replicate the original author, original characters, or brand logos; do not fabricate historical facts; when involving real people's photos, prioritize identity consistency, and do not do rejuvenation, beautification, face slimming, or facial feature rewriting.
