Half Real, Half Outline
Specimen-style editorial poster from one photo
Showcase
Description
Upload a photo to automatically identify the subject and composition, then generate an experimental, specimen-style editorial poster with half a real color photo and half a hand-drawn outline on white paper: the photo area retains its true colors with reduced saturation and a film-grain feel; the white-paper mask area continues the shape of the obscured section with fine, hand-drawn black outline lines, along with 2–4 sensory or evocative keywords, 3–5 colored texture-fragment squares, a vertical binding line on the left, and a small poetic subtitle in the corner. Suitable for portraits, still lifes, animals, plants, and many other types of photos. By default, it follows the original image proportions without changing the aspect ratio, cropping, converting to black and white, or creating an infographic.

Why we love this skill
Turns photos into restrained, experimental specimen cards, balancing low-saturation documentary imagery with hand-drawn outlines, precise labels, and floating texture fragments. Composition copy is confirmed before generation for poetic yet rigorous editorial design.
Best for
For creators who want to turn portrait, still-life, animal, plant, or scene photos into experimental editorial posters.

ImagePhoto Meets Hand-Drawn
Turn any photo into a contrast-style poster featuring a photo-realistic subject set against a monochrome, hand-drawn line-art environment: people or other subjects are preserved 100% from the original image—no redrawing, outfit changes, or pose changes—while the surrounding scene and background are translated into casual sketch lines on warm white paper in a single ink color. The default output is a 3:4 portrait layout, with other aspect ratios available on request. Supports single-person photos, group shots, pets, still life, and other non-human subjects, as well as pure landscapes with automatic fallback processing. You can also fine-tune the line-art color, paper background color, amount of whitespace, and line weight while preserving the core structure.
ImagePhoto Second World Posters
Upload an ordinary photo, and the skill will identify its most distinctive “physical visual structure”—not just the subject—then extend it into a second world. The real-photo area stays 100% faithful, preserving the original colors, lighting, and texture without recoloring or redrawing, and occupies the main part of the composition, about two-thirds of the image. The other section naturally grows from a warm cream paper background in soft watercolor or minimal black line art, creating an organic blend where the real and illustrated areas flow into each other rather than meeting at a clear dividing line. The poster also includes one minimal line-art figure interacting with the structure and a short handwritten note, resulting in a creative poster with the feel of an independent art magazine or photobook. It supports five approaches: torn-paper extension, watercolor second world, photo × minimal black lines, soft-edge blending, and turning objects into pictures. The workflow has two steps: review and confirm the creative concept first, then generate the image by feeding the real style anchor image into the image-generation model and checking each element. The skill includes five built-in style anchor images.
Imagexiaoxiaodong P108 Folk Cut
When the subject of a photo is highly recognizable but weakened by a complex background, excessive decoration, or ordinary filters, 108 reorganizes the information through new folk-art paper cutting: the real photo remains above, while the section below keeps only the subject, outline, pose, and narrative relationships, transforming them into flat paper-cut forms, a seal-like main visual, and printmaking texture. Best suited for Art posters, publication covers, or exhibition images that preserve the identity of a photo while adding cultural and handcrafted character. A preference for silhouettes, color blocks, engraved lines, positive and negative space, and paper grain over realistic illustration, smooth vectors, or 3D. Stable output in the same style across top-and-bottom, side-by-side, pure design, wallpaper, multiple aspect ratios, and catalog batch processing. What it solves for you Removes irrelevant backgrounds and duplicate objects so the subject is not overwhelmed by decoration. Extracts the 2–4 most distinctive colors from the photo to create vivid but restrained folk-art color blocks. Unifies the two-zone structure of every finished piece: a strict 50:50 split, with no added title bar, footer, or third band. Quick check: Is Panel 108 right for you? What you get: A complete poster with the real photo on top and a new folk-art paper-cut design below At-a-glance characteristics: A small-scale, seal-like subject; flat paper-cut color blocks; printmaking grain; and generous warm-white space How the original image is respected: Identity, structure, pose, lighting, and color are preserved; the lower section only simplifies and symbolically reconstructs them
