# Higgsfield Mixed Media

## What Is Mixed Media?

Mixed Media is Higgsfield's artistic style overlay system — a library of curated
visual presets that transform your images and videos into stylized, non-photorealistic
art directions. Each preset is a complete aesthetic treatment, not just a filter.

**Location:** higgsfield.ai/mixed-media-intro

**Input:** Any image or video  
**Output:** Same content rendered through the chosen artistic style  
**Key difference from styles:** Mixed Media is about *artistic transformation*, 
not cinematic grading. You're moving from photo to art, not adjusting color grade.

## How to Use Mixed Media in Prompts

Mixed Media presets are applied **on top of** your base generation, so your prompt
describes the scene and you specify the Mixed Media treatment separately.

**Standard application:**
```
[Scene description as normal prompt.]
Mixed Media preset: [Preset Name]
```

**Example:**
```
A woman in a red coat stands alone on a cobblestone bridge in winter rain.
