Record versions, settings and workflow so differences can be explained and the evaluation repeated when a tool or image requirement changes.

Separate product and environment

Check packaging, materials and proportions before judging style. Assess scale, shadows and whether props obscure the product. Document compositing and retouching so finished images are compared fairly.

Test realistic revisions

Request room for copy, a changed background and a relevant product variant. Track attempts and editing time, then review final crops in use. Confirm current terms. Choose accepted output and total effort, not assumed sales impact. See AI product photography and image ads.

Write separate acceptance criteria for each use

A catalog view may prioritize shape, color and detail. An ad may also need space for a headline and a situation that can be understood quickly. Use the same approved product reference and document whether a real product photo is preserved inside a generated environment.

Inspect scale relative to props and whether those props compete with the intended message. A dramatic background is not useful if it hides the product. After an approved edit, check the exact packaging again and repeat with a meaningful variant. Preview the final file in the actual crop on a phone and product page where relevant, keeping approval attached to the version.
