Which engine actually fits?
Auto Prep will ask you this and pick a sensible default — this is the same logic in plain language, for when you want to decide yourself.
A logo, crest, or clean line art
Use Shape. It carves from the silhouette, so sharp flat edges stay sharp instead of being read as flat gray tone.
A photograph, and you want it free
Use Photo (or Blend if part of it is graphic). Tune Detail Strength and the Luminance Curve to taste — no credits used.
A portrait or photorealistic subject you want to look sculptural
Use AI Depth (or AI Depth + Detail for finer surface texture). The cloud model understands facial and anatomical structure in a way flat luminance can't.
Nothing yet — you just have an idea
Use the Relief Generator. Describe the subject and get a sculpted medallion-style depth map with no image required.
Let Auto Prep decide for you
Tell the console whether your image is a Logo/Crest, a Photo/Portrait, or Mixed, and it steers you toward the right engine automatically.
