Quick answer

## The short version

Transparent bottles need deliberate edge and label references. A plain bright background can make the outline disappear, while a strong reflection can cover important text. Capture a faithful reference before trying a styled scene. Do not expect generation to infer the exact liquid level, glass thickness or small lettering.

## A practical workflow

Use a clean stable surface and move the light or camera until reflections reveal rather than obscure the shape. Capture the label straight on and make a second image showing the side or rear. Include the cap and any contents that actually ship. When reviewing an AI scene, compare the shoulder, base, fill level and label separately. Retain a real capture for evidence when the generated version changes any of these details.

## Worked planning example

Planning example: A 100 ml amber bottle has a narrow neck and a small batch number. The scene is rejected when the model turns the neck into a broad cylinder, even though the lighting looks better. A direct label photo remains part of the listing rather than being replaced by guessed type.

## Check before you finish

1. Capture a clear label and silhouette.
2. Make a real side or rear reference.
3. Compare liquid level, cap and glass geometry.
4. Reject invented text or packaging.

## 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.
