How it Works (Quick Start):

1. Save your .blend file! (Required before starting)

2. Open the AI Compositor panel (in the 3D Viewport sidebar - press N).

3. Choose your mode: Preset, Upload, or AI.

4. Follow the simple steps for your chosen mode (e.g., select preset, upload file, or generate AI image & confirm).

(Note: Requires saving the .blend file first. Requires API keys for optional AI generation features. Dependency installation is handled within the addon. If you encounter issues with automatic dependency installation, please ensure you are running Blender with Administrator Privileges, especially on Windows, and then try installing dependencies again via the addon's settings panel.)
