Choose the model for the task
Check the current Image Studio selector for available Seedream versions, supported references and output settings. Model availability and controls can change. This article is workflow guidance, not a dated model-release announcement.
Start with the product, not the effect
Write down the product name, the intended audience and where the image will appear. A product listing, a campaign banner and a social post may need different framing. Choose the destination format before generating, and keep enough room for text or a crop.
Prepare a reference you can trust
Use a sharp photograph that shows the product's actual shape, color and label. Keep an original copy. Remove unrelated items from the frame when possible, and use only images you have permission to process. A reference guides the result; it does not guarantee exact reproduction.
Write one clear brief
Describe the subject, surface, background, lighting and camera position. State which product details must stay unchanged. For example:
A single amber glass bottle on a warm neutral surface, soft side lighting, front label facing the camera, simple background, room above for a headline. Preserve the bottle shape and label colors.
This is a starting brief, not a promise about model output. Choose a model and supported reference mode in Image Studio, then review the displayed credit quote before starting.
Review before making a series
Check the label at full size, the cap, edges, reflections and any text. Compare the image against the original product, not just another generated image. Avoid accepting invented packaging, extra accessories or a misleading size.
Change one variable at a time: background, lighting or camera angle. Keep notes about the reference and settings that produced a useful result. Inspect every variation separately.
Prepare the final asset
For Arabic campaigns, proofread the actual Arabic lettering and direction. A clean product image with text added and checked in an editor can be easier to control than asking a generator to draw the whole advertisement. Test the final crop and readability on a phone. Review current plans and use the photo editor for supported finishing work.
