RealSnap Product Cut is a shooting method that creates images featuring only the product, without a model.
By adding a product photo and a reference image, you can create product editorials that preserve the product’s shape while reflecting the mood, colors, and photoshoot feel—ready to use on commerce detail pages or social media.
Sometimes you need images that show only the product
Commerce detail pages need not only model-worn shots, but also images that clearly show the product itself.That’s because you often need to accurately show the product’s shape and materials, such as bags, shoes, accessories, and clothing details.
However, making product photos look like editorial images requires separate setup for the background, lighting, composition, and colors, which takes a lot of time.RealSnap Product Cut helps you create product-focused images for detail pages without a model, based on your product photo and reference image.
1. Add a product photo to preserve the product’s shape
In Product Cut, you can add a product photo that should appear as-is in the result image.The uploaded product is naturally placed within the editorial cut while keeping its shape.
This feature is especially useful for commerce images where the product’s shape matters.It works well for images where real product information needs to be clearly visible, such as a bag’s silhouette, a shoe’s shape, an accessory’s structure, or clothing details.
2. Set the style of your product editorial with a mood reference
A mood reference is a reference image that defines the atmosphere and composition of the finished product editorial.You can choose from prepared presets, or use a photo you upload yourself or an image created from a mood board.
For example, if you have a specific direction in mind—such as a minimal studio product shot, a luxurious campaign mood, or a lifestyle editorial with natural light—it’s a good idea to add a mood reference.You can communicate styles that are hard to describe in words through images, making it easier to align the result with your intended direction.
3. Choose how strongly to reflect the reference
When adding a reference image, you can choose how strongly it should be referenced.You can have the result closely follow the reference image, or have the AI refer only to the mood it analyzes.
If you want to preserve the mood and composition of the original reference as much as possible, it’s best to use the default value.On the other hand, if you want to bring in only the overall mood rather than the reference’s details, you can adjust the reference strength to make the result more flexible.
4. Replace elements in the reference to fit your product
AI can detect elements such as props or logos within the reference image.You can upload your product image to replace those elements, or choose matching brand style tags to apply.
For example, the reference image may include another brand’s product or props, but in the result image, your product may need to appear in that spot.In this case, instead of following the elements in the reference as they are, you can change them to match your product and brand style to create a product editorial.
5. Set the color palette of your product editorial with a color reference
A color reference is a feature that lets you upload a photo you like and reference that image’s representative colors and mood.When you upload a photo, its representative colors and mood description can be automatically extracted and reflected in the result image.
For example, if you want a specific color feel such as warm beige tones, a strong red accent, or a calm gray mood, using a color reference is helpful.It’s useful for matching the background, props, and overall tone of your product editorial to your brand colors or seasonal mood.
6. Add the feel of a real product shoot with camera settings
Camera settings let you choose camera settings such as lens and aperture.Using these settings can add the feeling of a real photoshoot to the result image.
For example, you can adjust the desired shooting feel, such as a product editorial with a softly blurred background, a sharp detail-page cut, or a studio product shot with vivid lighting.When it’s difficult to describe the shooting feel with prompts alone, using camera settings together can improve the completeness of the product image.

💡 Things to note
If you use the result image for sales, make sure it does not differ significantly from the actual product’s shape, color, and material texture.In particular, it’s best to zoom in and review elements that are important for product identification, such as bags, shoes, accessories, logos, and patterns.
When using reference images, it’s best to use images you have permission to use or images that can be used for reference purposes.Make sure specific brand logos, people, or copyrighted images are not reflected too heavily in the result.
Color references and camera settings can affect the colors, focus, and background expression of the result image.If you use it on a detail page, be sure to check that there is no difference from the actual product color.
