Transform this photograph into a desktop screenshot from a 1998 home computer. The photograph becomes the image open inside a grey system window with a blue title bar, white invented filename text, minimise, maximise and close buttons, a chunky menu bar and bevelled 3D borders two pixels deep. Around it sits the desktop: teal background, a column of pixel icons with invented labels, a grey taskbar with a start button and a clock reading an invented time. The photo itself is dithered down to a 256 colour palette. Everything renders at chunky low resolution with no smoothing anywhere. Keep the subject, pose, framing and composition exactly as they are.

Use the uploaded image as the source and preserve the original subject, identity, pose, framing, proportions, perspective, and overall composition as closely as possible. Transform the entire image into an authentic vintage banknote engraving / intaglio print, as if the photograph had been hand-engraved onto a historical currency plate. Reconstruct all forms using extremely fine curved engraving lines, cross-hatching, contour hatching, parallel linework, stippling, and guilloché-inspired micro patterns. Do not use normal photographic shading; every highlight, midtone, shadow, skin texture, fabric fold, hair strand, object, and background detail must be described through controlled variations in line density, thickness, spacing, direction, and overlap. Dark areas should contain dense layered engraving strokes while highlights remain mostly exposed paper. Use a restrained monochrome dark green-black ink on aged off-white security paper, with slight natural print irregularity, subtle ink spread, microscopic registration imperfections, and the tactile appearance of traditional intaglio printing. Keep the subject immediately recognizable while translating photographic detail into highly precise currency-grade linework. Surround the composition with an ornate engraved banknote-style border featuring intricate guilloché curves, geometric security patterns, rosettes, fine decorative filigree, corner ornaments, and tightly controlled repetitive line structures. The frame should feel mechanically precise yet historically engraved, not like a modern vector border. Add a large engraved “100” denomination mark in the upper-left corner, integrated naturally into the banknote border and printed in the same dark green-black intaglio style. The number should feel like a genuine currency denomination element, with engraved shading, decorative linework, and slight ornamental integration into the surrounding frame. Do not place additional denomination numbers elsewhere unless they appear subtly as part of the security design. Create subtle optical interference and moiré-like density effects naturally through overlapping engraved line patterns, especially across broad tonal areas. Preserve strong facial anatomy and object contours without turning them into cartoon outlines. The final result should look like a real high-resolution scan of a professionally engraved vintage banknote plate, with exceptional micro-detail, crisp etched linework, authentic security-print aesthetics, visible paper grain, and a convincing currency-layout hierarchy. Avoid pencil sketching, charcoal, comic-book inking, woodcut texture, watercolor, smooth digital gradients, soft airbrush shading, painterly rendering, photorealistic skin, modern vector illustration, 3D effects, or excessive distressing. No arbitrary redesign of the subject or composition. 4:5 vertical
