Quick answer

## The short version

Each pictured variant should map to a real sellable item. Do not use one generated image as evidence for another color, size or pack count. Create a variant register and keep the relationship between reference, approved output and listing option explicit. Similar silhouettes can make mismatches easy to miss.

## A practical workflow

Assign each variant a stable SKU or internal code. Capture its own label, finish and included quantity. Use the same framing brief where appropriate, but review each item independently. Export filenames with the variant code and keep a mapping sheet. Before publishing, select each listing option and confirm that the intended photo appears. A shared hero is reasonable only when it truthfully describes every option to which it is attached.

## Worked planning example

Planning example: A bottle is sold in 250 ml and 500 ml versions. Scaling the smaller bottle up in an image does not document the larger package’s actual proportions or label. Two references are captured and approved separately, while the shared scene direction keeps the shop visually coherent.

## Check before you finish

1. Assign a code to each real variant.
2. Capture variant-specific details.
3. Approve each output against its own reference.
4. Check the photo shown for every listing selection.

## 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.
