Transform the uploaded photo to appear as if it's being displayed on a vintage CRT television set, photographed from slightly off-center.
CRT screen treatment:
– Apply visible horizontal scan lines across the entire image — thin, evenly spaced, slightly curved following the CRT screen curvature
– RGB sub-pixel pattern visible on close inspection — each pixel separated into distinct red, green, blue phosphor dots
– Slight barrel distortion: image curves outward toward edges matching CRT screen geometry
– Colors should appear vivid but slightly oversaturated with CRT phosphor glow
– Whites have slight blue-ish CRT tint
– Image has slight ghosting / double-image effect (very subtle)
CRT physical elements:
– Frame the image inside the visible bezel of a CRT television set — thick plastic bezel (dark grey or black) with rounded screen corners
– Slight screen curvature visible as reflective glare — one or two subtle light reflections across the glass screen surface
– Dust particles or faint fingerprint smudges on the glass (very subtle)
– Slight ambient room light reflecting off the curved screen surface
Broadcast qualities:
– Slight horizontal hold wobble at top or bottom of image
– Minor color fringing along high-contrast edges (red-blue offset)
– Gentle signal noise in darker areas
– Slightly warm overall color temperature
Hard rules:
– Do NOT change the subject's face, hair, body, expression, or pose
– Preserve the original image content — only apply CRT display effect
– Do NOT change the aspect ratio of the content (but can add CRT bezel frame)
Output should look like a photograph of a real CRT TV displaying the uploaded image — nostalgic, warm, and analog.
