Studio Ghibli Photo Transformation

A sophisticated prompt that transforms any real photo into a hand-painted Studio Ghibli anime frame while preserving the exact layout.

Prompt
Reimagine the uploaded photo as a still frame from a Studio Ghibli film directed by Hayao Miyazaki. Preserve the exact composition, camera angle, framing, crop, subject position, pose, and scene layout from the original photo — every element must remain in the same place at the same size. Only the visual medium changes. Render the scene with the unmistakable Ghibli 2D hand-drawn animation aesthetic: characters with soft rounded faces, large expressive but gentle eyes with simple highlights, small noses, soft chins, slightly pinkish cheeks, naturally-styled flowing hair drawn with confident clean ink lines. Bodies have soft natural proportions, clothing drawn with flowing organic folds. Skin and faces are colored with two-tone cel-shading — a base flat tone and one gentle shadow tone, no airbrushing. Backgrounds are painterly watercolor masterpieces — soft brush textures, layered washes of color, every blade of grass, leaf, cloud, and building lovingly detailed. Soft ambient natural lighting, often with golden warm tones, dappled sun, or magical hour light. The mood is gentle, nostalgic, peaceful, with a hint of wonder. Color palette favors muted greens, sky blues, sun-warmed yellows, soft earth tones. The image looks like a frame from a hand-painted 1990s animated film, with the slight texture of cel and painted background composite.
