In this guide, we will demonstrate 10 ideas for bulk AI image optimisations using our platform and Google Gemini: colour variants, new angles, lifestyle ↔ studio swaps, upscaling, smart crops, dynamic sale tags, subtle realism boosts, “add to look,” and full Shop-the-Look sets; everything powered by Feedoptimise + Google Gemini aka Nano Banana and saved/hosted directly under your own Google Cloud Storage account.
Why this matters
Great images convert better. But reshoots are slow, expensive, and impossible to scale across thousands of SKUs. With Feedoptimise Gemini Prompt Image Editor Modifier, you can generate consistent, on-brand product imagery from a single base photo, perfect for PDPs, ads, and social, without booking a studio.
This post guides you through the exact workflow we demonstrate in the video, along with the 10 edits we rely on most for real e-commerce data pipelines.
Prerequisites (quick)
- Feedoptimise account
- Gemini API key
- Google Cloud Storage (GCS) bucket + access keys
Recommended setup:
- Provide your original image as a fallback (in case a run fails)
- Provide your base image for the actual edit
- Select your GCS bucket and set the output path to AUTO to mirror your input folder structure (easy to find & reuse)
- Alternatively, define a custom path pattern (e.g., by SKU or item ID) for versioning
The 10 AI edits (that actually ship)
1) Colour variants from one image
If you sell multiple colour options but only have one photo, generate the missing variants in minutes.
Good for: Feed completion, PDP consistency, A/B image tests.
Example prompt:
Change the item color to red.
2) New angles without extra photography
No back or side shots? Ask for a rotated view.
Good for: Back-of-product views, detail callouts, “360° feel” without full spin sets.
Example prompt:
Rotate the item to show the back.
3) Studio → Lifestyle
Make plain studio shots feel aspirational and real—great for ad creatives and hero images.
Good for: Paid social, newsletters, campaign landing pages.
Example prompt:
Place this product in a realistic tropical beach lifestyle scene.
4) Lifestyle → Studio
Need a clean, background-free image inside your feed? Convert lifestyle back to studio.
Good for: PDPs, marketplaces, comparison pages.
Example prompt:
Convert to a studio image (no model), show the front of the item, neutral background.
5) Upscale tiny images
Rescue small legacy photos. Upscale while preserving realism.
Good for: Feeds with legacy images, supplier images, and marketplace compliance.
Example prompt:
Upscale this image.
6) Smart crop for product-first compositions
Centres the subject. Remove distractions. Export the aspect ratio you need.
Good for: Square PDP thumbnails, ad placements, email modules.
Example prompt:
Crop to focus solely on the main furniture item. Remove other elements, center the item, zoom to fill, output 1:1.
Tip: If legs/edges get trimmed, add: “Ensure the full item is visible; do not crop off edges.”
7) Dynamic sale tag (auto-price from attributes)
Overlay a promo badge and pull the price from your product data.
Good for: Seasonal promos, flash sales, automated campaign variants.
Example prompt (with attribute):
Add a prominent sale tag with price: ${{Price}}.
8) Subtle realism & polish
Minor changes, major perceived quality: contact shadows, soft drops, and controlled reflections, while maintaining the same perspective.
Good for: Achieving a premium feel without altering the product identity.
Example prompt:
Add physically plausible contact shadows, soft drop shadows, and glossy table reflections. Keep the original perspective.
9) Add a product to a model look
Blend a bag, hat, or shoes into an existing model photo convincingly.
Good for: Cross-sell, “complete the look,” editorial banners.
Example prompt:
Add this item to the model’s look in a natural way.
10) Shop-the-Look (multiple items, same person)
Dress the same model with several items, while preserving identity and consistency.
Good for: Outfits, bundles, lookbooks.
Example prompt:
Edit the same model by adding all provided items. Preserve the person’s identity: same face, features, expression, hair, body type, and skin tone. Only change the wardrobe naturally.
Cost & observability
Feedoptimise displays token usage and an estimated cost for every call. In typical runs, images cost a few cents each; however, your price will vary depending on the image, prompt length, and output size. Monitor the per-call readout to budget effectively at scale.
Folder structure that scales
- AUTO path: Mirrors your input file tree—fast and tidy for most teams.
- Custom path: Version by SKU/Variant/Date or SKU/Channel to keep marketplaces and campaigns separate.
- Fallback originals: Keep the unedited image available for rollbacks and QA.
QA checklist before publishing
- Product shape, proportions, and critical details (logos, stitching, texture) intact
- Correct colour and finish (e.g., matte vs glossy)
- Clean edges after crops—no parts cut off unless intended
- Aspect ratio and file size match your channel specs
- Promo tags use the right price and currency for the market
Feedoptimise + Google Gemini compresses weeks of product photography into minutes. From a single base image, you can produce on-brand variants, new angles, lifestyle/studio versions, smart crops, and upscales, saved automatically to GCS and ready for PDPs, ads, and marketplaces.
Transparent per-image costs and reusable presets enable teams to scale creative efforts without additional headcount, accelerating launches and boosting CTR and conversion rates while reducing the need for reshoots.
