Quick-Start — One Product, One Complete Workflow

Fill three fields, attach authorized product references, run the complete bilingual Master Prompt, compare the draft against the references and correct one defect.

3 Guided Steps

QUICK START
  • 1

    Fill Product, Three Locks and One Scene

    ~4 min

    Choose only visible identity anchors and check whether the references support product-only, detail or human-use proof.

  • 2

    Run One Complete Master Prompt

    ~6 min

    Use ZH or EN, append one matching category preset and generate a single 4:5 draft without new advertising copy.

  • 3

    Compare, Correct and Decide

    ~10 min

    Review product fidelity before beauty, freeze passed areas, repair one defect and choose Pass, Revise, Hold or Reject.

    Complete bilingual Master Prompt, three category presets, EMBER CRISP worked example, correction tool and QA guide.
Quick-Start CompleteYou completed one reviewed first-pass workflow. This is not a publish-ready or performance outcome.

Module 1 — Train the Realism Eye

Before you can fix what looks fake, you need to see it. This module trains your visual diagnosis so you can name exactly what's breaking believability.

3 Lessons

FOUNDATION
  • 1

    What is AI Slop — and Why Customers Spot It Instantly

    ~10 min

    The 8 visual tells that make AI content feel fake: wax skin, dead eyes, floating objects, physics breaks, smooth-everything, generic scenes, impossible reflections, and scale drift.

    Exercise: Open 5 AI-generated product images (provided). Circle and name every AI tell you spot. Score yourself against the answer key.
    Your "AI Slop Spotter" checklist — 8 tells with visual examples you can reference while working.

  • 2

    The 7-Layer Realism System

    ~15 min

    Product truth, scene logic, physical behavior, camera logic, light + materials, natural imperfection, and continuity + correction. How they stack and why fixing one layer without the others still looks fake.

    Exercise: Take one of your own product photos. Map it against the 7-layer diagram — which layers are strong? Which would AI break first?
    Your completed 7-Layer Assessment for your product — a reference you'll use in every future prompt.
  • 3

    Diagnosis Practice — Before/After Comparisons

    ~20 min

    Side-by-side analysis of weak vs. directed AI outputs across food, beauty, home goods, and services. Practice naming which layer breaks in each case and what prompt change fixed it.

    Exercise: Score 6 image pairs across 4 product categories using the Realism Scorecard. Write one correction note per pair explaining what changed and why it worked.
    Your completed Realism Scorecard — proof that you can diagnose AI image problems across any product category.

Module 1 Complete — You Can See What's Fake You've trained your eye across 4 product categories. Next: learn to prevent these problems before you generate.

Module 2 — Lock Truth + Scene

Stop improvising. Lock down product references, approved facts, and scene context before you generate anything. This is how you prevent drift and maintain brand consistency.

3 Lessons

PREPARATION
  • 4

    Building Your Product Truth Board

    ~12 min

    How to document geometry, packaging, label hierarchy, color, finish, and approved facts so your AI never invents product details. Includes templates for food, beauty, electronics, and home goods.

    Exercise: Complete the Product Truth Board template for your actual product. Fill in every field: shape, materials, colors, labels, components, and "never invent" rules.
    Your Product Truth Board — the anchor document that keeps every future AI generation honest to your real product.
    Included in RM49+ · Product Truth Board
  • 5

    Scene Logic — Give the Product a Reason to Exist

    ~12 min

    Constructing believable person, place, moment, and action context. Why "luxury lifestyle" is not a scene and how to replace it with specificity that AI can actually render.

    Exercise: Write 3 scene briefs for your product using the Scene Logic Formula (who + where + doing what + when + why believable). One kitchen, one outdoor, one workspace.
    3 scene briefs ready to paste into prompts — each tied to a real buying moment, not a generic "lifestyle" background.
  • 6

    Prompt Structure for Consistency

    ~15 min

    The anatomy of a realism prompt: product lock, scene direction, camera spec, material behavior, exclusions, and self-check. How to structure prompts that produce reviewable results, not random outputs.

    Exercise: Build your first complete realism prompt using the Prompt Structure Template. Fill in every section with your product truth and your best scene brief.
    Your reusable Prompt Template — a structured format you'll copy and adapt for every product and campaign.

3 Lessons

CREATION
  • 7

    Camera, Light & Material Control

    ~15 min

    How to direct viewpoint, framing, focus plane, motivated light, and category-correct material behavior. Making glass look like glass, food look edible, fabric look textured, skin look real.

    Exercise: Generate 3 variants of your product with different lighting setups: morning window light, overhead studio light, and warm evening ambient. Compare which materials render best under each.
    3 lighting variants of your product — with notes on which lighting setup best serves your product category.
  • 8

    Natural Imperfection — The Secret to Believability

    ~12 min

    Adding selective texture, asymmetry, wear, and environmental detail. Why "too perfect" reads as fake and how controlled imperfection can reduce an overly synthetic visual feel.

    Exercise: Take your best image from Lesson 7. Add imperfection cues to the prompt: surface texture, slight asymmetry, ambient dust or water droplets, environmental wear. Compare the before and after.
    Your before/after comparison — a documented review of whether controlled imperfection improved believability for this specific image.
  • 9

    Surgical Correction Workflow

    ~20 min

    Freeze what passed, identify one defect, correct it, re-check. The iterative loop that turns a "close enough" generation into a reviewable image draft. Includes copy-paste correction prompts for common failures and a mandatory human QA gate.

    Exercise: Pick your strongest draft. Run it through 3 correction iterations using the Correction Prompt Template. Document each pass: what you froze, what you fixed, what improved.
    3 realism-directed image candidates for your product, with a correction log and human QA record showing how you moved from first pass to an approved internal candidate.

3 Lessons

CONVERSION
  • 10

    From Beautiful Image to Testable Ad Direction

    ~15 min

    The gap between "looks good" and "answers a buyer question." Understanding buyer context, visual hierarchy for commerce, and how to direct images around a measurable hypothesis — not just look pretty.

    Exercise: Pick one of your product images. Map it against the Buyer Question Matrix: what question does this image answer? What question is it ignoring? Redesign the scene to answer the missed question.
    Your completed Buyer Question Matrix — maps 5 buying questions to specific image decisions for your product.
