The prompt

Convert my image into ASCII art that keeps the subject recognisable. A small script gives far better results than asking for the art directly, so write one and then run it if you can. Image: [attach, or describe: photo / logo / line drawing] Output width: [60 / 80 / 120] characters Style: [detailed shading / clean outline only / blocky] Where I'll use it: [terminal / code comment / social post / README], background [dark / light] Steps: 1. Write a short Python script using Pillow that: converts to greyscale; crops empty borders; resizes to the chosen width while correcting for character height (roughly halve the row count); boosts contrast; maps brightness to a character ramp such as " .:-=+*#%@" (reversed for light backgrounds). 2. For logos or line art, add an option to detect edges first and draw outlines with only a few characters (slashes, bars, underscores and dashes). 3. If you can run code, run it on my image and show the result in a code block. If not, give me the script and the exact command to run it. 4. Suggest one tweak if the subject is hard to recognise (crop tighter, raise contrast, change the width). Rules: monospace output only; no colour codes unless I ask; keep the script under 40 lines.
