Common questions.
Is it just a grayscale filter?
The direction rebuilds studio lighting and the backdrop as well as removing color. Generated details can differ from the input; exact source pixels are not retained.
How does Direct Flash compare?
Black and White Studio uses monochrome tones and side light. Direct Flash stays in color and asks for hard frontal flash and a punchier photographic finish.
What does a generation include?
One generation creates one JPEG image. Photo packs start at $4.99 for 10 generations. Choose square, portrait or landscape. Another version uses another generation. A confirmed failed or blocked creation returns its reserved allowance.
