Style guide

Fine luminous contours trace image boundaries in cool and warm hues against a dark ground.

The visual language

What is Neon Edge Glow?

Neon edge glow extracts contours and significant tonal boundaries, turning them into lines with bright cores and narrow halos. Darkened surfaces reduce solid mass so the structure appears drawn in light.

Neon edges turn selected structural boundaries into luminous lines with narrow bright cores.

A cyan cup rim and handle above a mostly dark body can suggest an object rebuilt from light.

Reusable style prompt for Neon Edge Glow

Extract the image contours and significant internal tonal boundaries as thin luminous lines against a deep near-black ground. Use electric cyan and subtle magenta accents, with a crisp bright line core and a narrow soft glow. Keep contours faithful to the existing image and vary line intensity with edge strength. Suppress broad filled surfaces and unnecessary texture. Do not turn the content into physical neon tubing, a wireframe mesh or a redesigned sign.

Use the same style prompt for portraits, landscapes and objects.
