When to use it

Section titled “When to use it”

Imagining what an object would have looked like in other eras, as options and new ideas: several readings at once, each rebuilt the way that time could actually have made it.

When to reach for something else

Section titled “When to reach for something else”

It needs a real picture, and each reading is a different kind of picture, so one specific change of one picture to one named period (her as a 1920s photograph) is Image Gen’s edit, not Time Machine.
