Lighting and focus do more than megapixels. A well-lit face with catchlights, a pet that is sharp around the eyes, or a travel scene with a clear subject will stylize more cleanly than a dark, motion-blurred crop. If the original is already noisy or heavily compressed, the illustrated output can inherit mushy edges even when the style looks beautiful in the thumbnail.

Framing still matters after style transfer. Center the person you care about, leave a little space around hair and shoulders, and avoid extreme wide-angle distortion unless you want that look exaggerated. Group shots work, but faces near the middle of the frame usually hold identity better than tiny figures in the background. For merch or thumbnails, start from a picture that already has a simple background so the new line work does not fight busy signage.

Treat the six styles as different print finishes rather than six copies of the same filter. Cartoon and anime simplify shapes; watercolor and oil painting add pigment and texture; pencil sketch drops color; PS2 retro pushes a game-era palette. If the first pass feels too aggressive, switch styles before you edit in another app. When you need a photoreal polish instead of illustration, jump to the enhancer or retoucher linked below rather than forcing this model to undo its own art direction.
