Areas of optical interference to be weakenedRequired · 1 set
Indicate glare, specular reflections, or unwanted shadows, and differentiate between material highlights/contact shadows that need to be preserved.

Provide every required input. Add optional inputs only when useful, and mark conditional inputs as applicable only when they apply to this request.

How to use this workflow

  1. Open the generation form

    Select “Use this workflow” to see the required inputs. You’ll need to sign in before generating.

  2. Add the required inputs

    Prepare: Original photo with glare, reflection or unnecessary shadow (1 photo) + optical interference area that must be weakened (1 set) + optional glare/reflection/shadow area mask (0 or 1 photo). Complete every required field, add optional inputs only when useful, and mark each conditional input as applicable or not applicable.

  3. Review text and output settings

    Check “Areas of optical interference to be weakened” for accuracy, then choose the aspect ratio, resolution, and quality that fit this use case. The generation form shows the available options.

  4. Generate and review

    Select “Generate image,” then review the result and open the full-size image. Check it against the detailed requirements below. One image per request.

Do I need to write a prompt?

No full prompt needed—just complete the required text fields.

Complete “Areas of optical interference to be weakened” to describe what this request should contain or create. You do not need to write generation instructions. Use the form fields to provide the images, exact copy, data, or description requested by this workflow.

Detailed result requirements

Required inputs

Original photo with glare, reflection or unnecessary shadow (1 photo) + optical interference area that must be weakened (1 set) + optional glare/reflection/shadow area mask (0 or 1 photo)

Input quality

Large-area reflection image taken through glass.

Composition

No universal public standard is available. Check the requirements of the platform or service you will use.

Output aspect ratio

Set the output canvas from the selected platform placement or production template, not from a reference image. Choose the option that matches this request: clean photos working canvas — 4:3 (recommended). Use a different ratio only when a verified placement or production template requires it. If the platform does not require a fixed aspect ratio, use 4:3 as the recommended working canvas for clean photos. Compose the subject with appropriate breathing room. Create one aspect-ratio-specific deliverable per request; generate each additional placement as a separate output. Recompose for the selected ratio while preserving the complete subject, all text, and every required safe area. Never stretch the subject or treat cropping important content as adaptation.

What stays unchanged

Original image and layered results.

What can change

Soft, Hard, Floating; adjustable hardness, strength, 360° direction, diffusion length and product upright/flat placement.;Preview/Standard/Best quality, and can output cleanup layer and reflection layer.

Background and setting

No universal public standard is available. Check the requirements of the platform or service you will use.

Lighting and color

The direction of the shadow should be consistent with the direction of the selected light source.

Text requirements

No universal public standard is available. Check the requirements of the platform or service you will use.

What to avoid

This tool targets full-image glass reflections, which does not mean that all local highlights, specular reflections or shadows can be reliably removed.

Official and platform requirements
