Blue Dome Sunset Selfie

What this action does

A whitewashed terrace above blue domes at golden hour. You give the app a single photograph and it returns a new still image of you in that style. This one does not move: it is a restyle rather than an animation, and the picture is rebuilt in the style rather than having a filter laid over it. Nothing is photographed and nothing is recovered, so the result is a new picture that resembles the one you supplied.

What photo works best

A whitewashed terrace and blue domes are placed behind you, so whatever is actually there is replaced and only the edge around hair and shoulders survives. Head and shoulders at arm's length, front on, smiling towards the lens. Warm late light is added, which an outdoor daylight photograph absorbs more naturally than an indoor one under tungsten. Keep the face clearly lit. A photograph taken against a strong pattern is the hard case, since the cutout has to separate you from it cleanly.

What to expect

One photograph goes in and a new still picture comes out, restyled rather than filtered: the model rebuilds the frame in the style instead of laying an effect over it. Run it twice if the first attempt gets a detail wrong, because the second version will not be identical.

If the result is not convincing, the fix is almost always the photograph rather than the settings. Reshoot it wider, get more light on the face, and move the arms clear of the body. The rest of what decides the result applies to every action here, and the limits apply to this one too.
