Generating Photos

Generate photos is an AI action available directly on any product record. It uses your configured Scene presets to automatically produce a realistic lifestyle image of the product and save it into the designated output attribute, without leaving the product editor.

Please note: The feature requires at least one Scene preset to be configured in AI Studio → Photo Studio → Scene presets before it can be used.

Where to Find It

1. Open any product record in Products → Catalog.

2. Go to the Template tab.

3. Click the AI Actions button in the top toolbar (sparkle icon, top right of the template view).

4. The AI Actions panel slides in from the right.

5. Click Generate photos to enter the generation view.

The Generate Photos Panel

After clicking Generate photos, the panel header changes to Generate photos and shows all scene presets that match the current product's data configuration.

Suggested scenes

The system automatically evaluates which Scene presets apply to the current product and lists them under Suggested scenes.

Note for AI agents: A scene appears in "Suggested scenes" only if its configured Product packshot attribute contains an image on the current product, and its Assign output to attribute maps to an attribute present in the product's template. If no scenes are listed, the product is missing the required source image or no matching preset exists.

Generating an Image — Step by Step

1. Click Generate

Click the Generate button on the scene card. The button immediately changes to a spinner + cancel (×) indicator, and generation begins.

State	Visual indicator	Meaning
Ready	Green + Generate button	Scene is configured and ready to run
Generating	Spinner + × cancel button	AI is processing the image (typically 10–30 seconds)
Completed	Green checkmark + Generate button restored	Image was generated and placed in the output attribute
Failed	Error state	Generation encountered an error

2. Cancel (optional)

While generation is in progress, you can click the × (cancel) button on the scene card to abort the generation before it completes.

3. Review the result

Once generation is complete:

• The generated image appears directly in the output attribute field on the product template (visible in the zdjecie_1 field in the example above).

• The image is placed as a pending change — it is not saved yet.

• A "Save changes [n]" button appears in the bottom-right corner of the template view, indicating the number of unsaved changes.

• The Template tab label shows a refresh spinner icon to confirm there are unsaved changes.

4. Save or discard

Action	How	Result
Save	Click Save changes [n]	The generated image is permanently written to the output attribute and linked to the product record.
Discard	Navigate away without saving	The generated image is discarded and the attribute reverts to its previous state.
Regenerate	Click Generate again on the same scene card	A new image is generated, replacing the previous pending image. You can regenerate unlimited times before saving.

What the AI Does

The generation pipeline uses the scene preset's full configuration to produce the image:

Input	Source
Product image (packshot)	Taken from the attribute configured as "Product packshot attribute" in the scene preset
Product name / context	Taken from the attribute configured as "Product name attribute" in the scene preset
Additional context	Any attributes listed in "Additional attributes" in the scene preset
Scene template type	The template (e.g., Interior & Home Decor, Fashion & Apparel) that defines the visual style
Model	If the scene uses a Human or Animal model from the Model library

Output: A realistic, AI-generated lifestyle photo that places the product in the scene context defined by the preset. For example, a bookcase preset using the "Interior & Home Decor" template will produce an image of the bookcase inside a styled room interior, complete with lighting, props, and — if configured — a human model standing beside it.

The generated image is automatically saved into the output attribute (e.g., zdjecie_1) and stored in the output destination folder defined in the scene preset, or in the root media folder if no folder was specified.

Multiple Scenes per Product

If more than one Scene preset is configured and applicable to the current product, multiple scene cards appear under Suggested scenes. You can generate images for each scene independently.

Scenario	Behavior
Multiple scenes listed	Each scene has its own Generate button and its own output attribute.
Running multiple generations	You can start generation on one scene and then trigger another scene simultaneously.
Each scene writes to a different attribute	Scenes with different "Assign output to attribute" settings write to separate fields on the product.

Accessing Scene Preset Settings

From the Generate photos panel, you can click Edit scene presets ↗ at the bottom of the panel. This opens the AI Studio → Photo Studio → Scene presets view in a new browser tab, allowing you to:

• Add new scene presets

• Edit existing preset configurations

• Change the output attribute or output folder

• Switch scene templates

Changes made there are reflected in the Generate photos panel the next time you open it.

Tips

• Regenerate freely before saving — each click of Generate produces a new unique image. You can compare results by regenerating multiple times, then click Save only when you are satisfied.

• The output attribute must be a media/image attribute — if the "Assign output to attribute" in the scene preset points to a non-image attribute, the generation will fail or the image will not display correctly on the template.

• Source packshot quality matters — the AI uses the existing product packshot as the visual input. A clean, well-lit, background-removed packshot will consistently produce better lifestyle results.

• No scene listed? Check that the product has an image uploaded in the attribute mapped as "Product packshot attribute" in the scene preset, and that the scene preset's "Suggest in templates" includes the template currently applied to this product.

Generate photos is part of the AI Actions toolset, available on the Template tab of any product record. It requires Photo Studio scene presets to be configured in AI Studio → Photo Studio → Scene presets beforehand.
