# Realistic Mode

<details>

<summary><strong>Overview</strong></summary>

Realistic Mode is not a traditional upscaling model.\
It’s a **style transfer engine** that transforms artificial-looking images — such as 3D renders, line drawings, mockups or CAD models — into photorealistic versions.

Instead of simply increasing resolution, this mode analyzes the input and reconstructs it as if it were photographed in real life.

It’s perfect for:

* Product design
* Architecture and interior renders
* Jewelry, fashion and packaging
* E-commerce visuals

This mode is especially powerful when used with a well-written **prompt**, describing what you want the output to look like.

⚠️ **Not intended for real-life photographs.** It can degrade photos instead of improving them.

<summary><strong>Key Adjustable Settings</strong></summary>

* **Prompt** \
  You must describe the visual goal of the transformation.\
  Example: *“gold ring on velvet inside a glass box”*\
  Use concrete objects, lighting, materials and contexts.\
  The prompt is what makes this mode powerful.

* **Ultra Quality (toggle)**\
  Enables advanced rendering for photorealistic results.\
  Adds clarity to surfaces, better lighting and micro-detail.\
  Takes longer to process (approx. 4 minutes).\
  Uses more credits than a standard upscale.

* **Creativity (slider)**\
  This controls how much freedom the AI has to modify details:\
  \- Low = faithful upscaling with subtle fixes\
  \- High = deeper transformation and enhancement\
  ⚠️ Use with caution if you want to preserve the original image closely.
