Anime conversion
Anime conversion turns a real photo into a faithful anime/cartoon drawing while keeping expression, facial traits, hair, clothing, colors, and background. The selected style only changes linework, materials, texture, lighting, and shading.
Important: this mode uses only the configured PRO model for your workspace. If the mode is missing or locked, ask your admin to update Settings.
When to use it

- you want an anime/cartoon version of a real person or scene without losing resemblance;
- you need an illustrated look that stays consistent with the original colors and outfit;
- you want a series of images with a coherent visual treatment.
When NOT to use it (choose another workflow)
Section titled “When NOT to use it (choose another workflow)”- If you need a local edit: use Single image edit.
- If you need a new scene or background: use Background edit (fast).
