What you get

  • A creative method with its instructions and supporting source files.

Setup and requirements

  • Follow the included guide to bind your inputs and select the appropriate runtime.

Things to know

  • Staging runs on a handful of subjects (products, a logo, hair, glass, two clips); not a matting bake-off.
  • Shadows are removed; glass keeps the old background colour; every salient subject is kept (no prompt).
  • Production needs the -prd variants published and a T4 graph-execution price (owner).

Source licenses and model terms continue to apply. Check runtime availability before generation.
