Using the documentary / candid look with your product
Each kit comes in three versions: product only, studio with a model, and lifestyle. The palette above is an example. When you attach your own product photo, ChatGPT takes its real colours and builds the documentary / candid set around them, so the look adapts to your product instead of changing it.
