 # 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.
+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: render styles the presets do not cover, Composed looks that use the backdrop (blur, the photo itself, gradients, transparency) and masks, and Finished looks that turn on the optical finish (vignette, grain, bloom, scanlines, fringe, blur), and Projects looks built for a job, which also fix the frame's `aspectRatio` (a square cover, a 3:4 poster, a 16:9 hero, a 9:16 lock screen) and name the export size.

 ## 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 person names a job (album cover, magazine portrait, product hero, poster, postcard, lookbook, game box art, sticker, lock screen): use its Projects entry; it sets the frame and the export size.
+- 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.
