## What it does

A flash of light turns your photo into a candlelit scene on a dark velvet table. A fortune card lifts into view showing a painted portrait of you in flowing robes, and gold dust swirls around it.

## From our test

We used a woman with wavy hair in a green top, and she held up a glowing card painted with her face in starry blue robes. We rewrote the direction so the card shows her face and carries no lettering.

## Tips for the best photo

- Use a clear front facing portrait with your whole face visible.
- Keep your hair away from your face, since the painted portrait copies it.
- Choose even lighting without harsh shadows, so the card likeness holds.

## Ideas for using it

- A mystic themed profile image refresh for a witchy or astrology account.
- A birthday card reveal for a friend who loves fortune telling.
- A book or game launch teaser featuring the author as a character.
