The signature
Four layered scene zones
The silhouette is divided into four zones tied to body regions — what goes inside the hat, the face and upper torso, the lower torso and arm, and below the silhouette. Each zone has its own input and 8 quick-select chips spanning the four themes.

Tips
Good to know
Theme quick-fill is the shortcut. One click coordinates all four zones — then override any zone independently.
The lower two zones are optional. Turn off the torso and below-silhouette scenes for a simpler two-layer composition — toggling a zone off keeps its text, so turning it back on restores it.
The headwear is the top scene container. A wide-brimmed hat gives the biggest, most dramatic top scene.
Zones blend beyond the silhouette. The scenes extend past the edges, blending with intricate detail.
Credit cost — same as a standard generation.
