Take one product brief from written intention to a checked, layered Photoshop edit. Keep the original locked, record every prompt and change, and inspect the details where generated images usually go wrong.
What you will be able to do
- Write a brief that says what can't change: Separate what's required and fixed (the label, the cap, the oil colour) from what's open (the setting, the light, the props), and state in writing which areas AI may and may not touch.
- Compare concepts one choice at a time: Write a small set of Firefly concept prompts that each change one meaningful choice. Log every prompt and reference next to its output, then write a selection note marking each concept retain, correct or reject.
- Make one bounded, non-destructive edit: Build a layer stack in Photoshop with the original locked at the bottom, each change on its own named layer, and a record of which areas were photographed and which were generated.
- Inspect where generated images fail: Check contact shadows, reflections, glass edges, perspective, repeated textures and every word of the label at 100 to 200 percent zoom. Turn your notes into a correction checklist and make the fixes yourself.
- Export with a record and an open question: Prepare an export that records size, format, version, source and colour profile, and flag permission questions for a person, starting with whether the client accepts a generated setting at all.
- Keep three checks apart: Treat visual acceptance, permissions and technical completeness as separate checks, so a file that's the right size and format isn't treated as passing all three.
