## Start with the product you actually have.

A clear reference photo makes it easier to describe what should stay the same. Use your own photo or one you have permission to use. Pick one setting before asking for variations.

> **The bottle above is an AI-generated concept.** It shows a possible visual direction. It is not a photograph of a real product or proof of an advertising result.

1. Choose a sharp photo where the product shape and label are visible.
2. Open an image tool that accepts a reference photo and upload it.
3. Replace every bracketed detail in the prompt.
4. Create one image, then compare it with your original.

## 1. Describe the image you want

Keep the request specific. For example: “warm window light, a stone table, one cup of tea, and no other objects.”

**PRODUCT IMAGE PROMPT:**

```text
Use my attached product photo as the reference for the product itself. Create one product image using the details below.

Product: [describe the real product]
Keep exactly: [shape, proportions, colour, material, cap, label and other important details]
Setting: [where the product should appear]
Surface: [table, shelf or other surface]
Light: [describe the lighting]
Extra objects: [list only the objects you want]
Image shape: [square, tall or wide]
Space for text: [where to leave empty space, or none]

Keep the product recognisable. Change only the setting, lighting and listed extra objects. Do not invent logos, printed claims, features or package text. If the reference is unclear, ask me before filling in details. Add no people or extra products.

If you cannot create the image here, say so and write a complete prompt I can use in an image tool. Do not claim that the product details are accurate without checking them against the reference.
```

## 2. Look for changes you did not ask for

AI can change small details. Check the product before you use the image for your business. A good-looking picture still needs to match what you sell.

**HELP ME CHECK THE DETAILS:**

```text
Compare the new image with my original product photo. Check the shape, proportions, colour, material, cap and label. List visible differences you can identify. Do not guess about details you cannot see. Then help me write a correction request for the most important difference.
```

Use the follow-up only in a tool that can view both images. Check the comparison yourself too.

## 3. Check before sharing

- Does the shape match the real product?
- Are the cap, label, colours and materials correct?
- Is any writing misspelled or invented?
- Could the setting suggest a size, ingredient or feature the product does not have?

If details keep changing, keep the real product photo and use your image editor to place it on a separate background. Add important words and prices in your editor so you can check them.

## Common questions

**Can I start with a sketch?**

Yes, for a concept. A sketch gives the tool more room to invent details. Use a real product photo when the finished image needs to match something you sell.

**What if the label looks wrong?**

Do not publish it as an accurate product image. Try a clearer reference. For exact packaging, keep the original product photo and change the background in an image editor.

Replace the example details with your own. Check facts, words and images before you use the result. AI results can vary.
