How to Choose Between Template and Prompt

Foneo provides two ways to define the style you want to apply.

Using a Template

Template is suitable when you want to quickly try an existing style.

Simply:

Select an image.
Open the Template tab.
Choose the desired style.
Click Apply.

This is the simplest and fastest option when you do not have a specific style requirement.

Using a Prompt

Prompt is suitable when you want to describe the style more specifically.

You can describe elements such as:

Illustration style.
Linework.
Colors.
Lighting.
Contrast.
Detail treatment.
Overall atmosphere.

For example:

Japanese anime illustration style, clean line art, expressive eyes, smooth cel shading, refined highlights, vibrant yet balanced colors.

After entering the Prompt, click Apply to process the image.

How to Use Prompts Effectively

1. Clearly Describe the Desired Style

Instead of entering only one word such as:

Anime

You can provide a more detailed description:

Japanese anime illustration style, clean line art, expressive eyes, smooth cel shading, refined highlights, vibrant yet balanced colors.

A more detailed description can help better define the visual characteristics you want.

2. Describe the Visual Characteristics

You can add specific characteristics that you want AI to represent, such as:

Soft watercolor painting style with delicate brush strokes, pastel colors, gentle lighting, and a dreamy atmosphere.

3. Keep the Prompt Focused on Style

When using Style Transfer, focus your Prompt on describing the visual style rather than adding too many unrelated requirements.

For example:

Hand-drawn illustration style with soft colors, clean outlines, subtle textures, and a warm artistic atmosphere.

4. Save Frequently Used Prompts

If you have a Prompt that produces a style you like and want to use it repeatedly, click Save prompt to save it.

You can reuse the Prompt from Saved prompts in future editing sessions.

Tips for Better Style Transfer Results

1. Use a High-Quality Image

Use a clear image with an easily recognizable subject and a relatively clear composition.

A high-quality input image gives AI more information to analyze and transform the visual style.

2. Choose a Style That Matches the Image

Consider the content of the image before choosing a Template.

For example, portraits may work well with illustration, cartoon, or painting styles, while images with many environmental details may be better suited to other artistic styles.

3. Make Your Prompt Specific but Easy to Understand

When using a Prompt, describe the most important characteristics of the style instead of making it unnecessarily long or adding too many different requirements.

4. Try Different Styles

Try different Templates or Prompts to find the style that best matches your image.

You can experiment with multiple styles on the same image to find the most suitable result.

5. Check Before & After Before Exporting

After AI finishes processing, review the image in Before & After mode to make sure the new style matches the image and its intended use.

If you are not satisfied, try another Template or adjust the Prompt and click Apply again.
