Plan B — custom development
The standard catalog is a shared vocabulary. If your work already has a signature — a way of light, a line, a way skin sits on the print — the pipeline can be trained to it. That is not a "filter." It is a private treatment family, scoped to your studio, with a contract that says who keeps what.
What a custom engagement can include
- Bespoke treatment chains — trained to match a photographer's signature look, with honest limits written down when the work diverges from what the model holds.
- Private, studio-branded LoRAs — e.g. a named render that your clients can choose by name, not by internal id, without that adapter becoming a generic stock offering elsewhere.
- New treatment families when the work demands a register the standard catalog does not name yet. Engineering time is part of the quote; we do not commit to a menu we have not run through the same measure-and-review loop as the rest of the library.
- Timeline and cost — typically weeks, not a single business day, because training and calibration are not theatrical. Cost: TBD — contact for a range once we have seen a reference set. Nothing on this page is a binding quote.
- What Vela retains vs what you get exclusively — discussed per engagement and written into the contract. A common shape is: your private adapter stays off the public style catalog, while Vela may retain the right to operate the same pipeline for your studio’s jobs without re-licensing the weights to a third party. The exact split is a legal and product question, not something we boilerplate in the footer of a web page.

If Plan B is in scope for your studio, email a short description of your work and, if you can, a private link to a small reference set. We read everything; we will only reply when we can do so usefully.
