Use rough shapes to test composition
Realtime accepts strokes, shapes and uploaded images. Start with broad colors and subject placement before chasing surface detail.

Krea: explore quickly, refine deliberately
An independent PopNow guide from live exploration to an image ready for use.
Product overview
Fast feedback is a way to think
Krea Realtime updates output as you draw, type or adjust a canvas. Enhancer is a separate stage for resolution and refinement. Exploration helps decide what to make; finishing checks whether the chosen image is clear, credible and suited to its destination.
Save a direction, not every variation
Keep variations that answer the brief and note what changed. An exciting preview still needs checks for text, edges and geometry.
Enhancement is interpretation
Krea says enhancement reconstructs a plausible higher-resolution image, not historical truth. Stronger settings can invent texture. Inspect signs, faces and smooth surfaces.
A three-step lighting study
- 1
Set one visual question
Choose whether a room study tests placement, palette or time of day. Use a simple scene and change one main variable.
- 2
Keep the selected image
Save the chosen image and notes. Inspect at normal size and close up. Decide whether it needs an edit, different light or more pixels.
- 3
Finish for a destination
Choose crop and display size. Start conservatively, compare against the original and keep both. Correct invented details before publication.
PopNow
Give the next step a specific tool in PopNow
Bring an image you may use and choose a tool for the specific problem. PopNow Draw does not promise Krea Realtime’s live behavior.
Guide an edit with a drawing
Mark or sketch a change in Draw. A visual instruction can clarify an edit better than more adjectives.
Study a different light
Explore light direction and mood with Relight. Check important details after editing.
Prepare a larger image
Use upscaling for a separate finishing pass. Compare texture and edges, and check the displayed price.

Questions, answered
Is this Krea’s official documentation?
No. This is an independent PopNow guide. The linked Krea pages describe the source tools directly.
Is Draw the same as Realtime?
No. They are different workflows. A shared use of sketches does not imply identical models, speed or controls.
Does enhancement recover missing facts?
No. Added texture can be invented. Do not treat generated details as proof of what was present in an unclear source.
Can I continue with an exported image?
Yes, if you have the necessary rights. A finished image can be a new input; it does not recreate Krea’s live canvas state or account settings.
