Image edit prompt“Overlay a moiré interference effect on this image: two fine line grids at slightly different angles create large wavy shimmering bands across the picture, with subtle rainbow color fringing, as if photographed from a screen or through fabric. Keep the pattern smooth and optical. Keep the original subject and composition.”
