02 / A PRACTICAL WORKFLOWSTART WITH YOUR PHOTO
01Choose a source angle that reveals the shoe
A clean three-quarter or side photograph can show the toe, laces, side panels, and outsole edge. Capture a separate real sole view if tread matters. When selling a pair, do not rely on one generated shoe to establish left-right consistency.
Show size with real evidence — Choose measured or verified scale views rather than inferred generated proportions.
02Stage for material, not only mood
Simple steps or a neutral floor can give a sneaker context while leaving room around the silhouette. Use soft light to reveal canvas, suede, or leather texture without shifting the colorway. Keep the outsole and lacing visible instead of hiding them behind props.
- Set the desired crop before generating: square for a card or portrait for a campaign.
- Keep a plain real product view available when the channel needs one.
03Inspect both shape and specifications
Compare toe shape, eyelet count, lace path, panels, stitching, branding, outsole pattern, and heel height with the actual model. A generated image cannot verify fit, size, comfort, or performance. Put those claims in checked product copy rather than inferring them from the scene.
