What changed in the studio.

The changes you will notice, by day and in plain words. Maintenance behind the scenes is not listed here.

  1. Own models, own scenes and the mirror selfie

    • Make your own model: describe who you are looking for and pick from a sheet of nine faces. The chosen face becomes a full model. You can also pick more than one face from the same sheet.
    • Make your own scene: upload a photo of your own place, or describe one and pick from nine versions. Own models and own scenes each have their own page in the studio.
    • Starter has one own model and one own scene, Professional and up unlimited. Delete one and its place is free again.
    • A sixth social mood: the mirror selfie, phone in hand and the whole outfit in view. Choose Mix with six photos and you get all six moods.
  2. A location stays one place

    • Every location in the library now has a hidden overview of four viewpoints. Across a whole shoot it stays recognisably the same place while the camera moves freely, and the light on the model matches the light of the place.
    • 23 new locations, from a hotel lobby and a castle hall to a penthouse, backstage, the Sahara, Iceland and five surreal studio sets. 56 in all.
    • Filter locations by kind and by style, in the stepper and in the Studio.
    • A location you save yourself gets its tags and its own overview of four viewpoints by itself, at no credits.
    • The alternative mode runs on a new image model: more natural, and faithful to the model and the piece.
    • The model is recognised from the full-body photo and the portrait, so face and figure stay the same across a shoot.
  3. Live

    • New accounts confirm their email address and start with 25 credits, valid for seven days.
    • Deleting your account also stops your subscription, and your data is erased within 30 days.
    • Briefs and pictures are checked for inappropriate content, with extra protection around minors.
    • A one-off credit pack comes with an invoice.
    • Every picture keeps its AI label in its metadata when you download it.
    • The API has per-minute limits. Send a request again with the same idempotency key, and it does not run a second time.
  4. Second chances, the Agent and Shopify

    • When a picture fails, it is made again by itself. If that fails too, you get the credits back for that picture only.
    • A plan change only takes effect once it is paid.
    • In the Agent you choose between premium and concept, and see what a brief costs before it runs.
    • Shopify: bring in a whole collection or your whole store in the background, and keep products up to date automatically.
  5. A shape per shoot, and the site

    • The stepper has a Format step: 3:4, 4:5, 2:3, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:2 or 16:9. Every photo of the shoot gets that shape, renders and retries included. 4:5 is Premium only.
    • When Premium refuses a picture on content grounds, the alternative mode makes it, and you get the price difference back.
    • Formats are padded in the colours of the picture’s own background, edge by edge, instead of white.
    • A product starts with its front, even when the back was uploaded first.
    • In a full-body picture the model wears the whole outfit, outer layer included.
    • After an upload, the product is described automatically again.
    • Subscription credits arrive every month, yearly plans included. What is left at the end of the month expires; separate top-ups do not.
    • The new site: how it works, pricing, lookbook, journal, FAQ, and pages on Shopify and your AI assistant.
  6. Atelier Noir, scenes and poses

    • The studio in a new look, Atelier Noir, in light and dark.
    • A new scene library, with studio, outdoor and interior as a filter in the stepper.
    • A new pose library, with a pose step where you let the AI choose or choose yourself.
    • A concept you keep is rendered in premium quality; the photo stays the same.
    • A shoot holds on to the face and build of the chosen model.
    • Downloads work again.
  7. New quality modes and models

    • A new main engine for every shoot, with an alternative mode for a different look.
    • Model photos and portraits are made at 2K.
    • Every model shows the face first; the full body is one tap away.
    • “Library” is now “Assets”, with your products first.
    • Curvy and plus-size models come out curvy and plus-size.
  8. Shopify, there and back

    • Pick products straight from your Shopify store in the stepper.
    • Put each picture back on the product it was made from. If that fails, you can try again.
    • Products from your store are filed under a category in your assets and show where they came from.
  9. Templates

    • Keep a shoot that worked as a template and run it over your catalogue. The queue keeps going when you close the tab.
    • The dashboard shows which products still need a shoot, and opens the stepper with them.
    • Download a picture in the sizes a shop publishes in.
    • Finished pictures arrive, even when nobody is watching.
  10. Your shop in the studio

    • Shoot the products that are already in your Shopify store.
    • When publishing, the studio suggests the product the picture was made from.
