Quick answer

## The short version

Make the delivered contents unambiguous. Decorative props and optional accessories should not look as if they are included. Photograph the real item and supplied parts together or in a clearly explained sequence. Generated settings are a poor substitute for a factual contents view.

## A practical workflow

Lay out the supplied pieces and compare them with the actual order configuration. Capture enough detail to distinguish similar adapters, lids or cables. Show external packaging separately when its condition or appearance matters. Avoid duplicating one object to imply a larger quantity. In a styled scene, inspect the surrounding objects: a model can add a cup, stand or tool that changes a buyer’s expectation. Keep those additions out of the hero unless their role is unmistakable.

## Worked planning example

Planning example: A lamp ships with a shade and power cable but no bulb. The contents photo shows those three components and the listing explains the bulb separately. A generated scene containing a boxed bulb is rejected because it suggests an extra included item.

## Check before you finish

1. Check contents against the actual order.
2. Show similar components distinctly.
3. Separate packaging from the product view.
4. Remove misleading generated accessories.

## 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.
