It can also reshoot a soft AI render as a real photograph. ## When to reach for something else It redraws rather than filters, so fine detail can shift a little. Not for photos that are already clean. Name anything that must stay exact under What to watch for. ## How to use it 1. Drop a picture onto the card's **Image** slot, from the board or your computer. 2. Write what you want in **What to watch for (optional)**. 3. Set **Make it a photo** on the card. 4. Press **Run**. ## On the card | Control | What it does | Choices | | - | - | - | | Image | The picture the tool works from.
