1. Turn a phone packshot into a page-ready product still
I put the object on the cleanest surface I have, even if that surface is a windowsill, and I shoot it sharp. In the editor I attach that photo, and if I have a better surface from another day, I attach that too.
Keep the bottle's silhouette, label, and cap color exactly. Place it on a seamless light surface, soft top light, slight three-quarter angle. No extra bottles, no new typography.
I am not asking for a campaign. I am asking for a picture I can put next to a price without looking like I forgot to unscrew the lens cap.

7 Ways I Use an AI Image Editor in an Ordinary Work Week
I do not run a studio, and I do not "explore generative art" on weeknights for fun. I have a job that produces leftover pictures: phone packshots, a dim photo from an event, a selfie that has to stand in for a bio, a screenshot that needs a wider card, a sketch that has to be shown to someone who does not want to look at a sketch. This is a list of seven jobs I now finish in an AI image editor with a still and a short instruction, instead of booking a reshoot or opening a file I will never complete.
Each item is a constraint I actually type, not a feature tour. If a result looks expensive and the subject has changed, I throw it away and do the job again, or I leave the original alone.
A short rule I apply to all seven
I write the lock before the change, I do one change per generate, and I compare the output to the source at the same size. The editor is prompt-based, it accepts everyday still formats, and it can hold a character or a product across a scene when I attach a clean reference. That is enough for a work week. The point of the list is not to make more pictures. It is to finish the seven I was already going to need, without pretending I had a studio day I did not have.
