Quick answer

## The short version

An intake sheet prevents a good photo from being attached to the wrong listing. Give every item a stable identifier before collecting files. Keep the reference photo, variant name, required views and approval state in the same row. A filename alone rarely explains whether a picture shows the current product version.

## A practical workflow

Use columns for SKU, variant, reference filename, requested scene, protected details, output filename and reviewer. Add a blocked reason instead of leaving an empty approval cell. Move only approved rows into the delivery folder. When a supplier changes a label or pack count, create a new reference version and invalidate the affected approvals. Keep the original files outside a folder that can be accidentally overwritten by a batch export.

## Worked planning example

Planning example: Two candle jars share a design but have different scents. Rows CND-01 and CND-02 each link to their own label reference. A generated vanilla scene cannot be approved for the cedar listing simply because the jar shape matches. The sheet flags the mismatch before upload.

## Check before you finish

1. Assign one row per actual SKU and variant.
2. Link a current reference file.
3. Track blocked, review and approved states.
4. Deliver approved rows with a filename map.

## 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.
