How to remix this template in Magic Hour

You can recreate and customize this template in a few steps:

Open AI Image Editor
Go to the AI Image Editor.
Upload your base image
- Product photo, portrait, team shot, room interior, or artwork
- Higher resolution images give better edge quality and cleaner fills
Remove or adjust the background
- Use the editor to cut out the subject from the existing background
- Clean up edges, stray artifacts, or unwanted elements as needed
Generate a new background with AI
- Describe the background you want (e.g. “soft gradient studio”, “modern office”, “dark cinematic environment”, “clean white Amazon-style background”).
- Let the AI fill or replace the background around your subject.
Polish and export
- Make any final touch‑ups (small removals, minor fixes)
- Download in the format that fits your workflow (e.g., transparent PNG for design, JPG for web)

You can save the result, then duplicate and remix it for future shoots or campaigns, so your images stay visually consistent.

How to adapt this template to your own brand

To create your own version of this template in Magic Hour:

Pick a small reference set
Start with 3–10 images that represent the look you want: studio product shots, website hero images, previous campaign visuals, or moodboard examples.
Define background “patterns” you reuse
Examples:
- Neutral gradient + soft shadow
- Branded color field with very subtle texture
- Minimal “office” or “desk” scene
- On‑location lifestyle backgrounds (e.g., “urban coffee shop”, “clean tech office”, “cozy home studio”)
Remix this template with your own prompts and assets
- Use the AI Image Editor with your real assets and background descriptions
- Save the outputs as a small library of “layout + background” combinations
- Duplicate and iterate whenever you launch a new campaign, test a new angle, or localize for different markets
Create variants for experiments
- Keep the same subject, change only the background (for A/B tests)
- Keep the same background, rotate different products or angles
- Localize by changing background cues (e.g., city skylines, cultural references) without reshooting
