AI QR Art — a real photo with your code printed on it

Most AI QR tools bend the whole picture into the shape of the code, which is why the results look like coloured mosaics rather than photographs. Photo mode works the other way round: it generates an ordinary photograph and then composites a genuine QR matrix onto a surface in the scene, with a slight tilt, a contact shadow and the scene's own lighting on the paper. Because the code is a real QR rather than a generated approximation, it scans reliably.
