Production guides
Photograph products for silhouette and label reconstruction
Prepare references that separate a clean silhouette, material, and label from the surrounding scene.
한국어로 읽기
Problem
Low contrast between the background and product edges, cropped geometry, and tiny packaging copy can cause generated boundaries and printed details to merge.
Outcome
You can assemble a source set suited to shape comparison, color reference, and deliberate label replacement.
Preparation
- Choose a plain background and verify that the product edges remain distinct on every side.
- Capture front and three-quarter views, a side view, and package seams separately.
- Record label orientation, required copy, small symbols, and each variant color in a reference note.
- Leave enough crop margin to include the cap and nozzle.
- Capture alternate lighting for reflective and translucent materials.
Decisions
- Hero angle
- Select the view that communicates the advertising silhouette most clearly.
- Reflection control
- Move and enlarge the light source until reflective edges remain visible, and record both the container and contents of translucent products.
- Product reference control
- Use the product reference upload in Template setup for the primary photograph rather than asking prompt text alone to preserve product proportions and surfaces.
- Text workflow
- Reserve exact logo spelling and label order for a later editing step instead of relying on generated lettering.
Warnings
- Cropped geometry
- A cap or handle touching the frame gives incomplete evidence about its shape.
- Wide-angle distortion
- A close wide-angle view can exaggerate package proportions.
- Unreadable labels
- Small generated lettering may differ from the source and needs a direct comparison.
- Material reflections
- A changed light direction can make reflections on metal, glass, or coated surfaces appear to be part of the product geometry.
- Variant color mixing
- Combining multiple variant colors in one source set can change the final color and label pairing.
Pre-publish checklist
- The full outline and crop margin fit inside the frame.
- The background and product edges are distinct.
- Both front and three-quarter views are available.
- Reflections reveal reflective and translucent surface direction.
- The primary product reference photograph is selected.
- Logo spelling and label order are recorded separately.
- The cap, nozzle, and overall proportions match the source.
- No other variant color is mixed into the reference set.
AI disclosure
AI-generated output can contain errors in product proportions, material, or labels and should be compared with actual product references.
