Best Practices

Style Transfer Tips

Be Specific: Describe the exact style elements you want (brushstrokes, colors, technique)
Reference Artists: Mention specific artists or artworks for more accurate results
Preserve Features: For portraits, mention if you want to preserve facial features
Intensity Control: Use terms like "subtle," "moderate," or "dramatic" to control effect strength

Image Guidelines

High Resolution: Start with high-quality source images for best results
Clear Subjects: Well-lit photos with clear subjects transfer better
Composition Matters: Simple compositions often yield cleaner stylized results

Prompt Tips for Style Transfer

Include these details in your prompts:

Style Name: Specific artist or technique (Van Gogh, watercolor, anime)
Key Elements: Brushstrokes, colors, textures you want
Mood: Dramatic, soft, vibrant, muted
Preservation: What to keep from the original (face, composition)
Intensity: How strongly to apply the style

Example Prompt Structure

"Apply [style name] style to this [subject type].
[Describe key style elements: brushstrokes, colors, technique].
[Mood and atmosphere].
[What to preserve from original]."

Mode Selection

Ask your users before generating:

"Do you want fast & cheap, or high quality?"

Mode	Best For	Speed	Quality
`max`	Final artwork, prints, professional use	Slower	Highest
`eco`	Quick previews, style exploration, drafts	Faster	Good

Multi-Turn Style Iteration

Use

session_id

to iterate on style transfers:

bash

  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "message": "Apply Van Gogh style to this portrait",
    "image_urls": ["https://example.com/portrait.jpg"],
    "session_id": "style-project-001"
  }'

# Refine the style
curl -X POST https://sense.eachlabs.run/chat \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "message": "Make the brushstrokes more pronounced and add more yellow tones like in Starry Night",
