Edit the uploaded photo to recreate a mixed-media manga cutout treatment: convert every person or human figure into a bold black-and-white hand-inked illustration while leaving the original photographic scene untouched. Preserve the subject’s pose, scale, placement, silhouette, clothing layout, hair shape, and exact position within the frame, but restyle the figure itself as a crisp printed manga panel. The environment should remain a normal photograph with its original colors, lighting, textures, depth, and perspective. Only the figure becomes a flat graphic cutout.
Render the figure in pure paper white #FFFFFF and dense ink black #000000, with optional restrained mid-gray #8A8A8A shading only where needed for form. Use confident variable line weights: strong outer contours, clean interior seams, simplified facial features drawn with ink, no realistic skin tones, no color fills. Draw clothing folds, hems, pockets, belts, shoes, and accessories as manga line art, keeping their original arrangement and recognizable shapes.
Add a uniform sticker-like white border around the entire redrawn figure, about the width of a thick marker outline, separating it from the background. The border should follow the silhouette smoothly, without jagged auto-cutout edges. Place a subtle soft drop shadow just outside the white border, strongest beneath the feet and where the figure overlaps nearby objects, so the cutout appears pasted into the real scene. Keep shadows neutral gray, not colored, and do not alter the background lighting.
The final look should be high-contrast, flat, crisp, and editorial, like a black-and-white manga character inserted into a photograph. Quality bar: sharp vector-like edges, clean white fill, legible linework, no smudging, no halftone noise, no painterly blur. Avoid: turning the entire photo into a drawing, recoloring the background, making the figure photorealistic, distorting anatomy, changing pose, adding extra limbs, creating messy transparent edges, using pastel anime colors, thick black sticker outlines, neon glows, 3D rendering, watercolor washes, or visible masking artifacts.
