Tool

Photoroom, OpenAI GPT-4o, Fiverr, photopop.ai

Issue

Ecommerce sellers struggle to produce high-quality product photos efficiently; manual editing takes 20 minutes, AI generation raises authenticity concerns (looks 'too AI-generated'), and lighting/composition mistakes undermine downstream results.

Cost

unstated

Recommendation

photopop.ai (emerging); Photoroom with improved lighting technique (disputed); AI generation avoided due to authenticity concerns

Hey guys so yesterday I made a post about product photos and asked for tips to improve them. A lot of people suggested learning a simple editing tool, and one person recommended trying out Photoroom. This post basically showcases three different workflows, including AI image generators and similar tools. [https://photos.app.goo.gl/59dbzLnjiELuhQzR9](https://photos.app.goo.gl/59dbzLnjiELuhQzR9) Here are the workflows and the images generated by them: A) Photoroom (Simple Editing Tool) – took 20 minutes: [https://photos.app.goo.gl/9eL62Vtre47UbQ7J9](https://photos.app.goo.gl/9eL62Vtre47UbQ7J9) B) OpenAI GPT-4o image generation – took 10 minutes: [https://photos.app.goo.gl/RzB3LK7eH93SpN2R7](https://photos.app.goo.gl/RzB3LK7eH93SpN2R7) C) Custom AI image generation workflow (person from Fiverr) – took 15 minutes: [https://photos.app.goo.gl/pRsWt8DB5kr2rQC17](https://photos.app.goo.gl/pRsWt8DB5kr2rQC17) As fellow business owners creating websites and since product images are critical to that what workflow should I go with? Would you as business owners feel confident putting these up on your website? EDIT: If any readers want, please feel free to DM me your product photos, as I really want to stress-test Option C and figure out how to use it effectively.

How much did option 3 cost?

I personally love the way option C looks it's a good balance between looking real and how easy it was to make

I recommend "B", if i where a customer I would doubt about the quality of the product if you use "C" version, looks very AI generated. "B" looks better in my opinion but need some light/contrast correction.

HI! I am working an app to solve this specific use case! This is the result I got with my app, let me know what do you think! [https://photopop.ai/results/1750235558\_enhanced\_il\_1140xN.6934979983\_qe43.webp](https://photopop.ai/results/1750235558_enhanced_il_1140xN.6934979983_qe43.webp) Also, I am looking for beta testers so if you want to test it for free in exchange of feedback, please let me know! Thanks

I'm guessing the first pic is what you used to generate the rest? If you learn about where to position yourself and the light source relative to the object, you'll get much better results with everything down stream. Right now your light source is almost directly behind your subject. You need a diffuse light source in front or slightly to the side of the subject. So put yourself in between the window and the subject in this case, then take your picture. Or at least window to the right of the object. I'd also use a higher view angle too so you can kind of see the top of the object.

Option C hands down.

Option C is the best imo. Option B) you can tell it is Ai-generated and for A) the lighting is off.
