Scene

Learn how to control the quality and speed of image generation.

AI Photoshoot API provides you with three ways to create a background for your product:

• Template-free approach

• Template-based approach

• Solid color background with product shadow only

Template-free options

In the template-free approach, only the prompts are used for background generation.

Prompt

AI Photoshoot API accepts text prompts to generate background. The prompt must be between 3 and 2048 characters.

Provide a detailed prompt to increase the likelihood of achieving the desired result.

{
    "scene": {
        "prompt": "on the wooden table in the dark room"
    }
}

Negative prompt

The negative prompt is a parameter that specifies what you don't want to see on the generated background. When specified, it tells the generation process not to include things in the image that match a given text. The negative_prompt must be between 3 and 2048 characters.

{
    "scene": {
        "prompt": "on the wooden table in the dark room",
        "negative_prompt": "pixelated, low quality"
    }
}

Possible values

Parameter	Type	Range	Default value
prompt	str	3 - 2048	is required
negative_prompt	str	3 - 2048	text, watermark, man, woman, child, overlay text, cartoon, pixelated, illustration, ugly, painting, cropped, lowres, low quality, jpeg artifacts, signature, logo

Template-based approach

In the template-based approach, you can use a sample image that will be used to generate a background similar to the image, and you can also use prompts to increase the likelihood of achieving the desired result.

Template image

AI Photoshoot API supports several options to provide a sample images that will be used to generate background.

If you upload a non-square image, it will be scaled and cropped to fit a square.

HTTP(S) URL

URL of the input image should be from 1 to 4096 characters. The image must be accessible by our system.

{
    "scene": {
        "template_url": "https://letsenhance.io/docs/assets/samples/scene.jpg"
    }
}

Connected storage

You can connect Cloud Storage and use it as a source for images. Currently, our API supports AWS S3 and Google Cloud Storage.

After connecting your Cloud Storage, you can refer the storage name as an input.

{
    "scene": {
        "template_url": "storage://storage-name/path/scene.jpg"
    }
}

Input image file types

The API supports the following image formats as inputs: BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, WEBP, AVIF, and HEIC.

Template mode

The template mode describes how closely the background should match the template. You can either preserve maximum details of the template image and make the resulting background as similar as possible using lock template mode, or you can change the result background with prompt and color using transform template mode. See Color and Prompts for more info.

prompt and color are unavailable for lock template mode.

Viewpoint
transform	Template is transformed according to the prompt and color.
lock	Template is preserved with maximum detail.

transform template mode is used by default.

{
    "scene": {
        "template_url": "storage://storage-name/path/scene.jpg",
        "template_mode": "lock"
    }
}

Template viewpoint

The template viewpoint describes the camera position and tilt angle from which the photo was taken. Available viewpoints are listed below:

Viewpoint
top	The view is top-down, looking down on the subject from above.
front	The view is horizontal, looking directly on the subject.

front viewpoint is used by default.

{
    "scene": {
        "template_url": "storage://storage-name/path/scene.jpg",
        "view": "top"
    }
}

Color

If you want to change the color of the background, you can specify the desired color in hexadecimal format and it will be used as the main color of the image sample-based background.

Using color will make the resulting background look closer to the sample image.

{
    "scene": {
        "template_url": "storage://storage-name/path/scene.jpg",
        "color": "#8fa782"
    }
}

Prompts

You can use prompt and negative_prompt in the same way as in the template-free approach, but prompt is not a required parameter for template-based approach.

Possible values

Parameter	Type	Range	Default value
template_url	str	1 - 4096	is required
view	str	top, front	front
color	str	#000000 - #ffffff
prompt	str	3 - 2048
negative_prompt	str	3 - 2048	text, watermark, man, woman, child, overlay text, cartoon, pixelated, illustration, ugly, painting, cropped, lowres, low quality, jpeg artifacts, signature, logo

Limitations

The template image viewpoint (camera position and tilt angle from which the photo was taken) should match the viewpoint of the product image.

Solid color background with product shadows only

Shadows generation mode covers the straightforward yet highly popular scenario in product photography. Creating a shadow effect for a product on a solid Color can enhance its appearance. A product on a white background, for instance, looks better with a shadow.

{
    "scene": {
        "effect": "shadows",
        "color": "#d3d3d3",
        "view": "top"
    }
}

Shadow generation effect requires Color and View parameters passed.

Limitations

Background with product shadows does not require placement for the Object, so you don't need to pass any of placement related parameters in request payload. Object payload should be:

{
    "object": {
        "image_url": "https://letsenhance.io/docs/assets/samples/burger.jpg"
    }
}
