Tools
| Tool | What it does | Key controls |
|---|---|---|
| Images | Generates edited versions of the selected product image from your prompt | Fast / Slow quality toggle, Images count (1–20), reference image via drag & drop |
| Video | Turns the product image into a short clip | Duration 5s / 10s / 15s, optional end-frame image via drag & drop |
Quality: Fast vs Slow
The Fast / Slow switch picks the model tier for image generation:- Fast — quickest and cheapest; great for iterating on prompt ideas.
- Slow (default) — the highest-quality model; use it for final shots.
Multiple options per run
Set Images to generate up to 20 candidates from one prompt. Each generated image is billed separately, so 4 images cost 4× the single-image price. Generating a handful and picking the best result usually beats re-prompting one at a time.Reference images
Drag any image into the prompt box to guide the generation:- Images tool — the drop becomes a style/context reference alongside your prompt.
- Video tool — the drop becomes the end frame, and the clip animates from the product image toward it.
Prompt templates
Click Templates in the toolbar to open the Template Library — ready-made prompts for common product shots (lifestyle context, e-commerce hero on white, detail close-ups, resolution enhancement, marketplace image sets, and more). Selecting a template fills the prompt box; you can edit it before applying. To reuse a prompt you’ve written, type it in the prompt box, open Templates, give it a name under Save Current Prompt, and click Save. Templates are shared across your organization.
Results and history
The left panel’s Results tab is the generation history for the selected catalog. Each run shows its input → output thumbnails, the prompt, a relative timestamp, and a status dot (blue pulsing = processing, green = completed, red = failed). Hover a run to pin it (pins are shared with your team) or delete it. Click any completed run to reopen its result on the canvas:- Download the file
- View full size
- Save to catalog (see below)
- Trim (videos only) — cut the clip before downloading or saving
Saving results to your catalog
Saving a result attaches it to the product it was generated from:- Images are appended to the item’s
image_urlsgallery; videos go tovideo_urls. - Existing media is never overwritten or removed — saves are additive and deduplicated.
- The change is a normal catalog item update, so it’s immediately visible in the catalog view, exports, and the public items API.
image_urls[0] is the hero.
Credits and costs
Photo Studio draws from your organization’s shared credit balance — the same pool used by enrichment. The left panel always showsCredits: <estimated cost> / <balance> for the operation you’ve configured, before you click Apply. You are only charged for successful generations.
Typical costs:
| Operation | Credits |
|---|---|
| Image generation/edit — Fast | 1–2 per image |
| Image generation/edit — Slow | 2–4 per image |
| Video — 5s | 10 |
| Video — 10s | 20 |
| Video — 15s | 30 |
Working with catalogs
- Catalog required — every generation and save is scoped to the selected catalog. Use the catalog picker’s Select a catalog entry to create one on the spot if needed.
- Products vs variants — for catalogs with product variants, the layers toggle in the left panel switches between product-level and variant-level views; saves target whichever level you’re working on.
- Upload — the upload button in the left panel accepts loose images and videos and routes them into catalog items.
- Search & pagination — search across all item fields with the search icon; large catalogs paginate at the bottom of the panel.
