Introduction

Are you struggling to effectively use custom and fixed backgrounds for your product photography on WeShop? You’re not alone. Many users face difficulties distinguishing between Reference to Original Image and Reference to Selected Location. This guide will walk you through the process step by step, ensuring that you can create stunning product photos with ease with AI Model.

What Are Reference to Original and Reference to Selected Location?

Understanding the difference between these two types of images is crucial for producing professional-quality images with AI.

Examples

Original
Reference Location

Reference to Original Image

A reference original image is the first image you upload—typically your product’s original image. When using this type of reference, the generated images will maintain the same composition as your original upload. This means the position of the subject and its surrounding space remain consistent with the original.

Reference to Selected Location

A reference selected location is the background scene that you upload. The generated image will adjust the subject’s position to match the new background.

By choosing this option, you create a new photo where the subject fits seamlessly into a new background, altering the original composition and resemble the selected location.

How to Use Custom Background Creator Effectively

Here are the steps to maximize the use of WeShop’s AI-powered custom background feature:

1. Choosing the Right Reference

Ensure you upload the correct type of reference image based on the effect you wish to achieve. Do you want your product to remain in the same position (original reference) or change with the new background (selected location reference)?

2. Avoiding Common Pitfalls

When choosing between half-body and full-body images, it’s important to match the type of reference image with your original image:

Using mismatched image types (e.g., half-body original with a full-body background) can lead to unwanted results, such as floating subjects or partial cropping.
