Best Practice Workflow
- 1
Upload your product image and upscale
Start with your product photo. Upscale to 4K or 8K to ensure production-quality resolution for all downstream outputs.
- 2
Make precision edits — change colours, materials, or details
Use painted masks, SAM point mode, or object detection to select specific regions. Change colours, swap materials, or adjust details with precision. Every edit preserves the rest of the image.
- 3
Generate packshots at multiple angles
Create clean packshot variants from the same source — different angles, lighting setups, or background configurations for your product pages and catalogue.
- 4
Create lifestyle scenes and remove unwanted elements
Place your product into AI-generated lifestyle environments. Use masking to delete unwanted objects, replace elements, or clean up the scene. Drag and drop additional objects for styled compositions.
- 5
Relight, then generate a 360 product video
Apply relighting to match your campaign mood. Then generate a 360-degree product video from the finished still for product pages and social media. Save everything to your Gallery.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Starting with a low-resolution source image — upscale first so all downstream outputs are production quality
- Making broad prompt edits when precision masking would give you more control
- Not saving intermediate versions to the Gallery — you may want to branch from an earlier step
- Skipping the relighting step and accepting inconsistent lighting across your visual set
- Generating video from an unfinished image — complete all edits before creating the video
Related Questions
Do I have to use all the tools in sequence?
No. You can use any combination of tools in any order. The multi-tool workflow is flexible — jump between upscaling, editing, packshots, lifestyle scenes, and video as your project requires. Save your favourite combinations as presets to reuse across products.
Is every step saved automatically?
Yes. Every generation and edit is saved to your AI Gallery with full history. You can go back to any previous version and branch a new workflow from it at any time.
How many final outputs can I create from one source image?
There is no limit. A single product image can produce packshots, lifestyle scenes, precision edit variants, relit versions, and videos — all in one session. Each output uses tokens based on the operation type. Once you have a workflow dialled in, scale it across your range with batch editing.
Can my team pick up where I left off?
Yes. All images are saved to your shared Gallery and can be opened by any team member. They can continue editing, generate new variants, or export finished assets.
