Test settings
Reference photo: an AI-generated picture of a made-up serum bottle, made in Gemini for this test. Uploaded with the default copy text unchanged in a new Gemini chat. First result used; only converted to WebP.
Variability
Shape, colours and small details can vary between runs; compare with your own photo. Gemini adds a small sparkle watermark in the corner.
Prompt
Use the uploaded photo as the reference for the product. Preserve its exact shape, proportions, label text, logo placement and colours; do not redesign, relabel or recolour it. Check the result against the reference.
Scene: top-down flat lay on softly creased oat beige linen cloth. The product sits slightly off-centre, surrounded by a few carefully placed props: dried eucalyptus sprigs, a small ceramic dish, two smooth pebbles and a folded paper tag.
Composition: props arranged with breathing space, nothing touching the product, one prop partly cropped at the frame edge for a natural feel.
Light: soft morning window light from the upper left, gentle natural shadows, no harsh highlights.
Camera: directly overhead, 50mm, f/8, everything sharp.
Style: minimal lifestyle editorial, muted earthy tones, true-to-life colours.
Format: square 1:1.
Avoid: clutter, props covering the label, changed product colours or text, duplicate products, text, watermarks.
