Art direction capture: turn a reference into an AI pipeline

You see an image you love, want 50 variations in the same spirit, and spend 3 hours rewriting the prompt by hand, that's exactly what art direction capture eliminates.

Art direction capture is the bridge between inspiration and production. Import an image, extract its visual codes, palette, mood, composition, photographic style, then generate an entire series that respects those codes.
