Deprecation of Custom AI: meet the new Creative Mode in AI Photoshoot

At Claid, we are committed to providing innovative solutions that enhance your product photography experience. As part of this commitment, we are deprecating the Custom AI feature. While Custom AI offered personalized product images, we have introduced the Creative Mode in AI Photoshoot to offer more flexibility and creativity.

Why Custom AI is being retired

Custom AI allowed users to train models on their own product photos to create professional lifestyle images. However, this process required multiple images per product and had limitations, especially for products with text or complex textures. Additionally, maintaining and updating custom models could be time-consuming.

Introducing Creative Mode in AI Photoshoot

The Creative Mode in AI Photoshoot offers a more intuitive and versatile approach to product photography. It allows you to generate high-quality, professional-looking product images directly in Claid Studio - no photo studio or complex setup required.

Key features of Creative Mode:

• Automatic placement: The AI automatically positions your product in the scene, ensuring balanced composition and realistic lighting.
• Flexible input options: You can either write a detailed prompt describing the desired setting and mood or upload an inspiration image to guide the AI's generation.
• Diverse settings: Place your product in various environments, from modern kitchens to outdoor landscapes, to create engaging lifestyle images.
• Enhanced lighting: The AI applies realistic lighting based on your description, enhancing the visual appeal of your product images.
• Efficient workflow: Generate multiple variations of your product in different settings, saving time and resources compared to traditional photoshoots.

💡 Whether you're preparing visuals for catalogs, display ads, or social media campaigns, Creative Mode provides the tools to bring your product to life in diverse and imaginative ways.

Transitioning to Creative Mode

For users that were using Custom AI, we recommend transitioning to Creative Mode for your product photography needs. This shift will not only streamline your workflow but also open up new creative possibilities.

To get started:

1. Access Claid Studio: Log in to your Claid account and navigate to the AI Photoshoot section.
2. Upload your product image: Ensure your product photo is clear and well-lit for optimal results.
3. Select Creative Mode: Choose the Creative Mode option to begin generating your product images.
4. Input your prompt or upload inspiration: Describe the desired setting and mood or provide an inspiration image to guide the AI.
5. Generate and review: Click 'Generate' to produce your images. Review the results and make adjustments as needed.

By embracing Creative Mode, you can continue to produce high-quality product images efficiently and creatively, aligning with your brand's vision and marketing goals.
