 # Asciify looks
 
-Finished artwork looks for a person's own photo, video or GIF: wallpapers, posters, album and cover art, hero artwork, prints and social images. Each look has the prompt a person gives you and the exact `/studio` settings that reproduce it. Every look is shown live at https://asciify.org/looks on the site's sample images, and opens in the editor at https://asciify.org/editor with the same settings.
+Finished artwork looks for a person's own photo, video or GIF: wallpapers, posters, album and cover art, hero artwork, prints and social images. Each look has the prompt a person gives you and the exact `/studio` settings that reproduce it. Every look is shown live at https://asciify.org/looks on a source image made for it, and opens in the editor at https://asciify.org/editor with the same settings. Every Studio render style has at least one look.
 
 These are artworks, not interface components. For a loading state, a background behind text or another UI piece, use [components.md](components.md) and the kit instead.
 
-Twelve looks are the engine's curated presets: apply them with `studioLook(id)` and enumerate `STUDIO_LOOKS` rather than copying their values. The others are written out in full settings for render styles the presets do not cover. All of them use the `asciify-engine/studio` entry ([studio-workspace.md](studio-workspace.md), [print-styles.md](print-styles.md)); nothing is uploaded, and the person's media stays in the browser.

 ## How to choose
 
-- The person names a look, or describes one ("newsprint", "riso", "phosphor", "Lego", "engraving"): use the entry, then adjust only what they asked for.
-- Dark, contrasty sources (a subject on black, night scenes) suit character looks and source-color tiles. Bright, high-key sources (white architecture, paper, daylight) suit the paper-ground looks: Newsprint, Two inks, Banknote, Four-color press.
-- Subjects with strong local color (fruit, fish, birds, a painting) suit source-color looks: Mosaic study, Brickwork, Pixel, Honeycomb, Pointillist.
+- The person names a look, or describes one ("newsprint", "riso", "phosphor", "Lego", "engraving", "film still"): use the entry, then adjust only what they asked for.
+- Dark, contrasty sources (a subject on black, night scenes) suit character looks and source-color tiles. Bright, high-key sources (white architecture, paper, daylight) suit the paper-ground looks: Newsprint, Two inks, Banknote, Four-color press, Riso duotone, Woodcut, Overprint.
+- Subjects with strong local color (fruit, fish, birds, a painting) suit source-color looks: Mosaic study, Brickwork, Pixel, Honeycomb, Pointillist, ANSI blocks, Jewel box.
+- The artwork goes over something else (video, a gradient, a brand color, a product page): use a transparent look (Cutout, Halo overlay) and export PNG, which keeps the alpha.
+- The person wants the photo itself to stay present: Frosted glass and Bokeh draw over its blur, Overprint over the sharp original.
+- The person asks for a grade, film, broadcast or vintage feel: use a Finished look. Finish effects need WebGL; check `art.capabilities.gpuFinish` and say so when it is unavailable.
 - Keep artwork with motion off for video sources unless asked; the footage already moves.
 - Say in one line which look you chose and offer one alternative from this file.
