Limitations to know before generating

  • 80s aesthetic accuracy depends on prompt specificity; vague descriptions may not capture the intended era.
  • Period technology and fashion details may not always be historically precise.
  • Text and logos on retro objects (cassette labels, arcade screens) may not render accurately.
  • Neon and lighting effects vary; some results may lack the intended retro glow or grain.
  • Generated images are stylized interpretations, not historical documentation.
