Tengr.ai’s img2img (Image → Easy Mode) function is a versatile and useful tool for transforming your images with the power of AI. Whether you’re trying to breathe life into your sketches or blueprints, rejuvenate your old, blurry photos, or enhance your existing images, Tengr.ai’s processing modes offer something for everyone. They offer a whole range of possibilities to edit and enhance your AI-generated images, each of them tackling specific creative and editing tasks.
In this blog post, we’ll explore the capabilities of each of these innovative modes in depth, so you can better understand how to make the most of them. Let’s get started!
1. Sketch Mode
Sketch Mode, also known as Sketch Master, is perfect for when you want to bring a drawing to life. Maybe you have a drawing or sketch, and you’d like to transform it into a polished, realistic artwork. Or your kid draws something cute and you want to surprise them by transforming the drawing into a real picture. Whether you have a basic pencil drawing or a digital one made with Line art style, Sketch Mode preserves the essence of your sketch and fills in details, adds vibrant colors and textures, and makes it more photorealistic. In short, it makes your vision come alive.
All you have to do is upload your image using the ‘Image → Easy Mode’ option, and then from the ‘Processing mode‘ dropdown menu, choose Sketch. At the ’Input image influence’ you can choose a level ranging from ‘Minimum‘ to ‘Maximum‘. However, the recommended level is ‘Medium‘. This is for how much you want the input image to influence the result. There is also a short description on the website: “Elevate your sketches and line drawings into vibrant, realistic, or stylized images. This mode detects and enhances the lines and curves in your artwork, infusing them with detail and color.” This summarizes the essence and function of this mode very well.
Important to note: the best results come from clean, well-defined, sharp lines. This helps Sketch Mode to translate your lines into natural, detailed images. However, if you’re not aiming for a photorealistic piece, try using more abstract styles like ‘Abstract ink’ to achieve a uniquely stylized sketch.
As you see, we got a truly unique and special effect by using Sketch Mode on a Line Art portrait. These processing modes offer countless options for creating stunning images, you just need a bit of creativity and practice.
Tip: If the resulting image still has visible sketch lines, use Creative Mode or Depth Mode to soften them more. They can give a whole new look to your image.
We loved the initial result but wanted to show you how far you can get from a simple Line Art drawing. So, we further enhanced it using first Creative Mode and then, Depth Mode to show you the possibilities. Additionally, we show you the different outcomes from using a prompt versus not using one.
It’s amazing how much you can achieve from a simple sketch with some creativity and the innovative tools of Tengr.ai. You can find out more about Sketch Master from our related blog post.
2. 3D Sculpting Mode
Another fascinating processing mode is 3D Sculpting, which is ideal for 3D artists and everyone excited about 3D modeling. The website description says: „Isolates the main subject from the background, allowing for creative modifications and personalization.” Let’s find out what this actually means.
Have you ever wondered what your raw 3D models would look like if they had a more realistic appearance? We designed 3D Sculpting mode to bring personality and realism to your 3D designs. It can actually give sculptural qualities to your artwork, transforming them into photorealistic 3D renders. It’s ideal for concept artists, product designers, or anyone wanting to transform their basic 3D models into stunning, lifelike visuals.
Upload an image of a simple 3D model, and Tengr.ai will enhance it by adding photorealistic textures, lighting, and details.
The steps are the same as those in Sketch Mode. You upload your image, but this time, you select 3D Sculpting processing mode. At the ‘Input image influence‘, you can choose from ‘Minimal‘ to ‘Maximum‘, the recommended level being ‘High‘. You can use it without a prompt and Tengr.ai will create a great image for you. Alternatively, if you have specific details in mind, simply specify those in a prompt to get the best result.
As shown in our example, you can add countless details to a basic 3D model.
3. Creative Mode
Creative Transform, also known as Creative Mode is an amazing tool designed to help you when you want to create something unexpectedly creative. What is truly remarkable about Creative Mode is its ability to surprise you with imaginative details every time. It transforms images with high creativity while still keeping the core elements of the original image. It adds vibrancy and an artistic touch to make your image stand out.
Here is the short description found on the website: “Transform your images to match your vision. The generation will be done based on the uploaded image, with the prompt below. If you have multiple subjects, specify each in a new line.“
Creative Mode can make your images or sketches come alive with minimal effort. See our related blog post for an interesting tutorial.
How to use Creative Mode? You upload the image you wish to transform and choose an option from the ‘How strongly should this be modified?‘ dropdown menu. You can choose from ‘Very Subtle‘ to ‘Extremely‘, ‘Normally‘ being the recommended value. If you want specific changes or details, enter a prompt. Otherwise, use it without a prompt and let Tengr.ai do its magic. Next, we’ll see a few examples of transformations made with this amazing processing mode.
Here is an entire transformation: starting from the same initial image, using Creative Mode, we explored Tengr.ai’s different built-in styles. We applied each style without any prompt modification. This is to showcase how the various styles alone can transform the image in this mode. It truly is a creative tool!
4. Depth Mode
Depth Mode, also known as Depth-Guided Processing Mode is another amazing option for enhancing your images. Basically, it’s described as: “Reimagine your artwork with new scenes, colors, and textures while keeping the original composition and structure intact.“
It’s designed to add depth and spatial dimension to your images, all while preserving the original composition and structure. It emphasizes depth, making the subject or object of your image stand out by visually separating the foreground elements from the background. This way, your flat image will gain some dimension, which is a huge bonus for architectural designs for example.
After uploading your image with the Image → Easy Mode option, select Depth Mode, then decide what level you want your ‘Image input influence‘ to be at. You can choose from 5 different levels, ranging from ‘Minimal‘ to ‘Maximum‘, and ‘5 ~ Maximum‘ is the recommended level.
Next, you can choose any style you like, and decide whether to use a prompt or use it without one. With so many customization options, you have incredible flexibility to crate stunning art. So, start experimenting to explore every possibility this amazing platform has to offer.
You can create countless variations starting from the same image, just by using the amazingly creative styles Tengr.ai has to offer, even without entering a prompt.

5. Blueprint Mode
Blueprint Mode takes your technical-looking blueprint and turns it into a more photorealistic or stylized representation of it: “Turn your architectural sketches into photorealistic or stylized images effortlessly.” – as the website description says.
It’s perfect for architectural visualizations, it transforms basic architectural concepts into visually compelling images, either by adding realistic details or applying unique stylistic touches.
6. Human-pose Mode
In the field of visual arts, human poses have great importance, often revealing emotions, stories and even communicating intentions without words. By using Tengr.ai’s Human-pose Mode you can enrich your creations with the vast vocabulary of the human body.
The website describes it like this: “Captures and replicates human poses from the reference image, allowing you to seamlessly experiment with various postures and character actions.“
So, basically, to replicate a specific pose in Tengr.ai, you need to start with a reference image. You can use an image or a 3D model poser, like those on PoseMyArt or similar sites, to get the exact pose that you want for your final image.
After you’ve designed or downloaded a 3D model, you upload it with the Image → Easy Mode option, select Human-pose mode, and turn it into a lifelike representation of that same pose. Tengr.ai will try to match that exact pose while incorporating the details of your prompt. This makes it easier to create visually stunning images that match specific requirements.
Now, let’s see a ninja jumping pose:

7. Rejuvenate Mode
Rejuvenate Mode is designed to revive and restore old, blurry, or damaged images. It can enhance the clarity, sharpness, and the vibrant quality of your photos. If you want to breathe new life into your photos, this mode can help you do that.
Upload an image of a blurry, scratched, or damaged photo the same way as with the other processing modes, but this time select Rejuvenate. You can use it freely without a prompt, just by trying out different styles to see which one gives you the best result. Alternatively, enter specific requests in your prompt like ‘photo restoration’, ‘remove scratches’, ‘revive colors’, or ‘enhance clarity and sharpness’ for more targeted improvements.
Next, at the ‘How strongly should this be modified?‘ option, you have to choose the level, which can range from ‘Very Subtle‘ to ‘Extremely‘. You may need to experiment with different levels to achieve the desired result. Sometimes, using higher levels, like ‘Extremely‘ can alter facial features, which is not a result you want when restoring old photos. ‘Normally‘ being the recommended level, usually works best, you can get pretty amazing results with it.
The best part is its versatility: it can restore old, blurry, or faded analog photos, enhance AI-generated images with minor flaws, and it can bring back lost details and colors. It refines your images without changing their original essence.

8. ScenaNova Mode
This is a game-changing feature for transforming the backdrop of your AI-generated images while keeping the subject intact. By changing the background, you can create an entirely different atmosphere, mood, and narrative, so you basically change the visual impact of your images.
The best thing about ScenaNova is the fact that if used right, it keeps the subject unchanged, while generating an entirely new background, based on your prompt. This makes it ideal for content creators, designers, marketers or AI enthusiast who want to reimagine their visuals quickly and efficiently. Its description on the Tengr.ai website says: “Elevate your subject by reimagining its environment – swap backdrops to create the perfect mood, narrative, or visual impact.“
Simply upload the image you want to change the backdrop in, choose a modification level from ‘Very Subtle‘ to ‘Extremely‘, and specify the desired background in the prompt. By adjusting the modification level, you can decide on subtle changes or more dramatic effects. You might need to do some experimenting until you get the desired result, but our blog post with a detailed explanation of this feature can be of great help.
The basic idea is that you can use ScenaNova to reimagine the setting of your image, to place your subject into an entirely different background. Or, you can transform a product image to match different themes, such as changing a studio backdrop to an outdoor scene or giving them a holiday theme.
