Proper lighting is crucial for professional results. Natural, diffused light delivers the most consistent results with AI generation.

• Use soft, diffused daylight for even illumination
• Avoid harsh shadows — they confuse the AI algorithm
• A ring light is ideal for even product lighting

Product positioning directly affects how well the AI can recognize and process the garment.

• Lay clothing flat and wrinkle-free
• Center the product in the frame with enough margin
• Use styling clips on the back for a perfect silhouette

A clean, uniform background allows the AI to precisely isolate the product and deliver better results.

• White or light gray background is optimal
• Avoid patterns and textures in the background
• A photo backdrop system is worth it for regular uploads

Different fabric types react differently to AI processing. Smooth fabrics generally deliver better results.

• Iron or steam fabrics before photographing
• Reflective materials like silk need more diffused light
• For knitwear, focus on detailed close-up shots

You don't need a professional camera — a good smartphone is enough. What matters is sharpness and sufficient resolution.

• At least 2000px width for best results
• Use 2x zoom for less distortion
• Enable grid mode for straight alignment

With ShowTheFit you can create complete lookbooks in minutes. Consistency in style and lighting is key.

• Photograph all pieces of a collection the same way
• Choose a consistent model and setting for the series
• Use the batch function for uniform results

Most quality issues can be prevented through simple preparation.

• Don't use too many accessories — the AI focuses on the main product
• Always remove hangers before upload
• Don't apply filters or edits before uploading

Good preparation saves time and significantly improves results.

• Remove price tags, labels and packaging
• Steam or iron each piece carefully
• Prepare accessories separately for combination shots

Both techniques have their strengths. Flat lay is great for overviews, 3D shows fit and drape.

• Flat lay for product overviews and collection previews
• 3D/Mannequin for fit and silhouette
• Combine both for a complete product experience

With a few simple tricks, you can get the maximum out of AI generation.

• Upload images in the highest available resolution
• Make sure the product takes up at least 60% of the image
• Use neutral colors for the background, not black
