INSIDE Image Studio AI

Image Studio AI brings Silken’s creative tools into MerchCanvas: your product references, photography styles, models, creative direction and finished images in one connected workspace.

01 / YOUR PRODUCT, YOUR DIRECTION

Start with the photos you already have.

Import a photo from a Shopify product, choose an image from your library, or upload a new reference. Then give the shot a direction with your prompt, brand settings and output format.

Choose individual product images from your Shopify catalog, not only the featured photo.
Reuse Studio references, Shopify Files or completed generated images.
Save palettes, guidelines, preferred formats and model or scene defaults in Brand Kits.
Choose from nine aspect ratios and one to four image variations for a single shoot.
See the output count and required credits before submitting a generation.

02 / CHOOSE YOUR STYLE

A visual starting point for every kind of shot.

Browse 16 photography styles across Commerce, Studio and Lifestyle. See the composition before choosing it, from clean product listings to styled flat lays and campaign images with space for copy.

Create white-background product images, angle sets and ghost-mannequin compositions.
Explore flat lays, sculpted studio light, dark hero images and macro details.
Try lifestyle settings, hands-on compositions or imagery with intentional copy space.
Use selectable shot lists for launch packs, or batch recipes for up to 12 products.

03 / ON-MODEL PHOTOGRAPHY

Choose the model. Style the whole shot.

Browse 96 adult model references, choose a pose, and set the scene. Dress the model supports a single garment or a two-piece outfit with separate reference images for the top and bottom.

Search model references and narrow the selection by age group or category.
Choose from 13 scenes, use a solid background, or bring your own model or scene reference.
Use the compact pose menu or describe a custom pose.
Choose One piece for one clothing image, or Two pieces for distinct Top and Bottom images.
Check generated fit, color and product details before using the result; AI can differ from the reference.

04 / FROM YOUR LIBRARY TO YOUR STORE

Give your finished images somewhere useful to go.

Keep generated results in your studio library until you decide how to use them. Two direct actions connect a chosen image to Shopify, without a separate review workflow.

Organize results with folders, favorites, shoot groups and status filters.
Add an image to Shopify assets for reuse in collection cards and lookbooks.
Add an image to a selected product without replacing its existing gallery photos.
Download the original or continue into browser-based image editing and reels.
Generation stays private; exporting to Shopify creates a public file, while collection and lookbook publication remain separate.

A SIMPLE STARTING POINT

Make it part of your workflow.

Start with a real product

Choose a photo from your Shopify catalog, reuse an image from your library, or upload your own.

Shape the shot

Choose a style and add your direction. For model photography, select the model and pose. Check the image count and credit cost before generating.

Choose where it belongs

Check the result, then save it to your Shopify assets or add it to a selected product. Creating an image alone does not publish it.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

A little
more detail.

Can I use product photos already in Shopify?

Yes. Import from Shopify lets you choose a product and one of its images. You can also use your private reference library, Shopify Files or a new upload.

Does an AI image preserve every product detail?

AI results can differ from the reference. Check details such as shape, color, labels and fit before using an image in your store. MerchCanvas does not guarantee an exact reproduction.

Are generated images automatically published?

No. Generated results stay in your private studio until you choose a destination. Saving to Shopify assets creates a public Shopify file; adding to a product can affect a live product page. Collection and lookbook publication remain separate actions.
