Quick answer

## The short version

An art-print listing should distinguish the artwork from the frame and room used to display it. Show a full reference without an accidental crop, then explain the sold paper size and any border. A generated room scene can illustrate a display idea but does not establish the artwork’s real dimensions.

## A practical workflow

Capture the print evenly and include its physical edges in at least one image. Record whether a frame, mount or hanging accessory is included. Check that the displayed artwork has not been repainted or altered in a generated scene. Use a real size reference or a clearly labeled dimension diagram instead of relying on furniture for scale. Retain detail photographs showing the paper or print surface when that affects the purchase.

## Worked planning example

Planning example: A 20 × 30 cm print appears above a large sofa in a generated room and looks poster-sized. The seller rejects that scale depiction, provides a measured real image and states that the frame is not included. The full uncropped artwork remains the primary reference.

## Check before you finish

1. Show all artwork and paper edges.
2. State what framing is included.
3. Verify the artwork itself after generation.
4. Use measured dimensions rather than invented room scale.

## Choose the next step for your task

Product Photo Studio creates a new setting from one product reference for one credit per generation. Review shape, labels, color, quantity and condition before commercial use. The listing kit adds alternate image shapes and a review manifest without an extra export charge. It does not certify marketplace acceptance. Use a real capture when exact evidence of the item is required.
