2
Describe the period look
Name the color cast, grain, contrast, vignette, texture, and era cues instead of relying on “old” alone.
3
Review the treatment
Check skin tone, shadows, highlights, fine detail, and whether the effect overwhelms the subject.
Useful for
- Explore a period campaign direction
