# Add an art or image background

Use bundled art collections or your own image as the background layer.

## Goal

Apply a background image/art style while keeping the screenshot as the visual focal point.

## Prerequisites

- Source screenshot is imported.
- You have either an image to pick or want to use built-in art packs.

## Steps

1. Open image background controls.
2. Choose one source:
   - Pick your own image.
   - Choose from built-in art collections.
3. Set fit mode:
   - `cover` for full-bleed treatment.
   - `contain` for full artwork visibility.
   - `fill` for stretch-to-canvas behavior.
4. Tune image adjustments:
   - Blur
   - Saturation
   - Brightness
5. Return to composition controls and verify screenshot separation.

## Verify Result

- Background mode is `image`.
- Fit behavior matches intent.
- Screenshot content remains readable over the chosen image.

## Quick Rollback / Undo Path

- Undo the most recent background source or adjustment changes.
- Reset fit mode to `cover` and adjustment sliders to defaults.
- Switch to color/gradient if image treatment is too busy.

### If performance feels slow while tuning

- Temporarily lower blur.
- Use simpler backgrounds while composing.
- Finalize heavy adjustments near the end.
