# Product camera & lighting series — tested reuse recipe

This is a manual orchestration recipe around the existing Aixio **Camera & lighting** Skill, not a newly installed Skill or an automatic batch engine.

- [Open Camera & lighting](https://aixio.app/skills?skill=a1c10000-0000-4000-8000-00000000ca01)
- Tested October 5, 2026 on three fresh fictional product briefs, with two independently connected reshoots per source.

## Inputs

One approved product reference; a short invariant list (count, silhouette, attached parts, colors, materials, setting); two different useful camera/light jobs; desired format; current per-image quote and bounded total allowance. Accurate additional references are necessary when unseen geometry matters.

## Stages

1. Inspect an uploaded source or explicitly labelled generated concept at original resolution. Accept it before reshooting.
2. Select the source in Studio, Continue → Image, type `/`, choose the actual Camera & lighting Skill. Confirm both reference and Skill chip. Repeat independently from the original for the second view.
3. Prompt template: “Re-shoot the referenced [subject] from [camera/shot]. Keep [invariants]. Change lighting to [lighting, or retain source light]. One photograph, no lettering or collage.” Specify visible features for the job; avoid claiming unseen parts are verified.
4. Review settings and current quote. Tested settings: Seedream 5.0 Pro, 2K, count 1; source ratio auto. Teapot/can 2560×1440; flask 2352×1568. Reshoots retained their source formats.
5. Generate, then compare each output with the original for count, joined parts, silhouette, color, material, light direction, crop and unwanted text. Check source-independent environmental and texture changes too.
6. Correct only a named failure within a pre-agreed allowance. This package allowed one correction but used none. For sales-critical geometry, obtain accurate evidence instead of guessing.
7. Download each completed card's original. Deliver source + view A + view B with labels and lineage; keep a review record including rejected outputs/costs.

## Tested outputs and budget

- Ceramic: overhead silhouette + close material detail, warm studio.
- Plain coral beverage can: low hero/copy space + overhead package view, hard light/cobalt background.
- Sage flask: low side-lit hero + higher detail, outdoor lifestyle.
- Three sources + six reshoots; quoted and ledger-confirmed 1.17 credits each, 10.53 total. Optional correction ceiling 11.70, unused. These are dated observations, not current pricing guarantees.

Exact nine prompts and original image links are in the accompanying article. All products are fictional concepts. These tests retained recognizable subjects but regenerated speckles, inferred surfaces, rock/woodland detail and loop curvature. The teapot overhead shadow was harder than requested. Do not promise exact preservation, catalog accuracy, universal reliability or one-click batch execution.
