Torn-paper portrait collage

Start with the right photo.

A portrait whose face and gesture can remain unobscured.

What to expect

Present the same portrait as one large photographic print with genuinely irregular hand-torn fibrous paper edges on a warm neutral backing.

Keep an eye on

Torn edges are a simulated paper treatment; avoid tears through defining facial features.

Make it yours, step by step.

1. Adjust the recipe to describe your subject and preferred background.
2. Copy the complete recipe, then open ChatGPT.
3. Upload your photo in ChatGPT and paste the recipe. The short code alone is not an official command.
4. Inspect identity, text and proportions. Ask for a targeted correction if needed.

Choose the change deliberately.

The torn edge should reveal fibers and irregular thickness while leaving the central photograph readable. Place the strongest tears in quiet areas rather than across facial landmarks.

Review and refine the result

Check that the edge belongs to the print, not the person's outline. If the result looks like a digital mask, ask for a small contact shadow and visible paper thickness.
