# Understanding Style Transfer Options

AI Studio uses different controls in each mode. Check the mode before looking for a style setting.

## Choose the relevant controls

1. Open **More** → **Studio** under **Gallery** in your artist workspace.
2. In **Generate**, open **Tattoo Style** to choose a style for a new design. The picker includes options such as Traditional, Geometric, Blackwork, and Minimalist.
3. In **Stencil**, choose **Low**, **Medium**, or **High** under **Detail Level**. The current screen does not show a separate Line Art, Shading, or Watercolor transfer menu.

4. In **Preview**, check the placement controls after adding the required images. **Preserve**, **Balanced**, and **Blend More** appear under **Edge Blend**. The screen notes that Balanced may alter the image near tattoo edges.

These controls are not interchangeable. A Generate style describes the design you want; Stencil and Preview have their own settings. Inspect each result before using or sharing it.

## If the controls are unavailable

Check the selected mode and required uploads. Stencil conversion stays unavailable when its source upload has failed. Preview asks for both a body photo and a tattoo design before positioning.

If instructions refer to a control you cannot find, use the labels shown in your current mode or contact support.
