How to replace a product in a reference ad without inheriting the wrong details
Upload the reference for visual direction and separate photographs of your own product for product identity. Make the replacement explicit, remove unrelated copy, and let the layout adapt when the new object has a different silhouette.
Keep two kinds of reference distinct
The original advertisement tells the system about the composition. Your product photographs tell it about the object that should appear. If you only upload the advertisement, the system has no reliable visual evidence for your replacement item. A description of a green bottle is not enough to preserve a specific cap, label or brand mark.
A tall dispenser cannot occupy the exact same silhouette as a short jar without changing scale or framing. Explain which relationships should remain, such as the product being the largest object and the headline sitting above it. Avoid insisting on impossible geometry merely to preserve a close resemblance.
Prepare a replacement brief
| Part | Useful instruction in ordinary language |
|---|---|
| Product identity | Use the supplied current-edition dispenser, including its pump and label position. |
| Composition | Keep the product prominent with open space above; adapt its size to the taller silhouette. |
| Copy | Use only the supplied product name and approved short benefit. |
| Exclusions | Do not retain the reference brand, invented discount or objects that imply included accessories. |
These are example client requirements, not Itemlume’s internal generation prompts. Put your actual facts and preferences in the input fields. The system combines those inputs with the selected workbench settings.
Run one controlled remix
- Open Image remix, upload the reference and add the replacement product photos.
- Choose an appropriate content type and copy language. Select style or closer composition guidance.
- Set the aspect ratio for the destination before generating; a later crop may remove important content.
- Generate and compare the reference, source product and result side by side.
Optional model selection adds a person reference when your concept needs one. It does not authorize copying the face of a recognizable person from the advertisement. For a product-only creative, keep that option disabled and state that the product should remain the focal subject.
Reject transferred facts and impossible interactions
Look for inherited sale percentages, badges, ingredient claims, bundle quantities and props. A decorative box beside a bottle can suggest a bundle that you do not sell. A hand holding a product can conceal the label or imply an unrealistic size. Both should be treated as factual review issues, not minor styling differences.
When the product is accurate but the layout is cramped, simplify the reference rather than asking for more decoration. When the product is inaccurate, improve the product evidence first. Save the result only after these two questions have separate answers: does it represent my item, and does it communicate the intended idea?

Frequently asked questions
Can I skip the replacement product image?
Only if no specific replacement product needs to be preserved. For your own real product, upload clear photographs of it.
Why does a jar-to-bottle replacement need layout changes?
Different silhouettes change space, scale and balance. Preserve the communication hierarchy rather than forcing an incompatible outline.
Will reference text disappear automatically?
Do not assume so. Supply your approved copy and inspect the result for inherited words, numbers and claims.
