Expert Usage Tips
Adjust the “lighting” keywords (e.g., “golden hour,” “cool daylight,” “warm ambient”) to change the emotional temperature of the scene.
Swap the “pedestal” material (e.g., “brushed concrete,” “white marble,” “raw timber”) to instantly change the brand’s luxury perception.
Modify the “lens” specifications in the prompt to either “wide-angle” for more environment or “macro” for intense product detail.
Add specific color hex codes or palette descriptions to ensure the generated imagery aligns perfectly with your existing Shopify brand guidelines.
Incorporate “bokeh” or “depth of field” intensity adjustments to control how much the background distracts from your primary product.
