5 ways to get better results
Start with a clean reference. Sharp, even light, face fully visible.
Match lens to purpose. Lens numbers steer the look; they don't guarantee physics.
Recreate the whole period. One smartphone or modern car breaks the illusion.
Keep filters subtle. Light grain and soft corners beat heavy sepia and scratches.
Refine one thing per turn. Expression, angle or one object, not everything.
