The whole photo studio.
Not just the first shot.
Follow the decisions behind a finished collection: reusable rules, product fidelity, edge inspection and delivery. Inspect saved results and try local controls; these examples never upload files, generate images or spend credits.
Define it once. Carry it across the catalog.
A preset is a production rule, not just a favorite color. Try the same background and watermark on two different products, then decide what your next batch should inherit.

Choose what stays. Direct what changes.
A held product needs more than a new backdrop. This saved tote example uses Creative to reconstruct the bag and introduce a person. Compare handles, seams and proportions with the source.
Three decisions before you generate.
- Fidelity. Preserve places a source-derived cutout into a scene. Creative reconstructs the product; on-model requires Creative.
- Direction. Describe the setting, light and framing. Supporting views can guide Creative, but do not guarantee unseen details or exact identity.
- Quote and review. One completed standard 1K PNG costs one Stage credit. Paid shot sets support one to five shots. Compare every result with its source.
Preserve placement and contact-shadow revisions are Stage-specific. Qualifying local edits use 0 additional Stage credits when retained source and scene assets are available. New lighting needs a new generation.

Transparent cutout
The open headband and earcup gaps remain transparent.
A cutout is ready when the detail survives.
- Openings: the background should be removed from the headband and earcup gaps.
- Edges: inspect light and dark backgrounds for halos, clipped surfaces and lost fine detail.
- Color: compare against the source before applying any finishing treatment.
Hand & arm isolation is Beta. Edge feather and defringe controls are previews here; this saved result is not proof of those additional operations.
