Intelligent Intent Detection
Canvas Editor automatically detects what you want and applies the right editing approach:
Style Transform
Converts your jewelry to different artistic styles while keeping the design identical:
- Pencil sketch
- Watercolor painting
- Cartoon/anime
- Oil painting
- Pastel drawing
- Ink illustration
Example: “Convert this to a watercolor style” keeps your exact jewelry design but renders it as a watercolor painting.
Context Addition
Places your jewelry in realistic settings while keeping the piece exact:
- On a hand or finger
- Worn by a model
- On a mannequin display
- In a jewelry box
- On a velvet surface
Example: “Put this ring on an elegant hand” adds a realistic hand wearing your exact ring design.
Property Modification
Changes specific attributes while preserving the overall design:
- Metal color (yellow to white gold)
- Stone type or color
- Size adjustments
- Material changes
Example: “Change this to rose gold” modifies only the metal color, keeping everything else intact.
Creative Variations
Generates artistic interpretations with more creative freedom:
- General creative requests
- Style combinations
- Unique variations
Example: “Make this more Art Deco” applies creative reinterpretation while maintaining the essence.
