It cannot add a subject, recover lost detail or redraw a vector's shapes. ## How to use it 1. Drop a picture onto the card's **Image** slot, from the board or your computer. 2. Set **Palette** on the card. 3. Pick a mode on the card: **General**, **Portrait**, **Object**, **Vector**. 4. Pick a model in the pill at the top of the card, or keep **GPT Image 2.6**. 5. Press **Run**. ## On the card | Control | What it does | Choices | | - | - | - | | Image | The picture the tool works from.

Models in this mode: **GPT Image 2.6**. ### Portrait For pictures of people: the palette takes the clothes, the hair and the set. Models in this mode: **Grok Imagine 2.0**, **Bria Fibo Edit 1.5**. ### Object For one object or product on a backdrop: the object and its backdrop take the palette, its material, light and shadow stay. Models in this mode: **FLUX.2 Pro**. ### Vector For a vector, an SVG or a canvas vector: its colours move to several new palettes in one run while every shape and path stays exactly as it is.

Higher holds finer detail, costs more and takes longer. | Low, Medium, High, Very High, Max | | Resolution | Output size. 2K and 4K cost more. | 1K, 2K, 4K | ### Grok Imagine 2.0 **Not the one for:** Less of the picture lands exactly on the colours than in General, and a full-length shot with small figures is General's job.
