What does the Paper Sculpture effect change?

Paper Sculpture reconstructs color and form as tactile craft elements, using source edges and luminance to place material detail while preserving the main silhouette. The strength control determines how much of that treatment replaces the unedited appearance.

Which photos work best with Paper Sculpture?

Choose Paper Sculpture for poster and album-cover artwork, craft and printmaking references, or product concepts presented as artwork when the source has clear detail and balanced exposure. Start with a lighter setting if it contains low-resolution faces, illegible source text, or photographs whose key identity depends on tiny texture that the chosen medium simplifies.

About the Paper Sculpture effect

Paper Sculpture translates source structure into medium-specific marks, surfaces, and color separations rather than applying a stock texture alone. Its intensity control blends the processed output with the uploaded pixels, so the edit can remain restrained or become the dominant look.
