Edit the uploaded person into a 1986 school yearbook portrait with a voluminous 1980s hairstyle, slightly soft focus, and fine grain like a printed yearbook photo. Follow the selected source-preservation settings: recognizable identity, proportions, defining features, and expression. If clothing is not preserved, dress them in a period sweater or collared shirt. If pose is not preserved, use a straight head-and-shoulders yearbook pose. Keep them the same age as in the photo. Apply soft nostalgic color grading with even studio flash and faded colors. Replace the background with soft blue 1980s laser-style studio backdrop, keeping clean edges around hair and clothing. Do not add people, lettering, or logos. Compose for 4:5 Portrait without cropping the face.
