Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from Studio Shadow recipes?

Product Drop Shadow is a general-purpose recipe across categories. Studio Shadow recipes (Furniture, Bags, Decor) are tuned with category-specific defaults.

Can it batch process my full catalog?

Yes. Upload your entire range and the recipe applies consistent drop shadow treatment to every product in one pass — no per-image setup.

Will it work on products with reflective or transparent surfaces?

Yes — the recipe handles glass, plastic, metal, and translucent surfaces, generating shadows that match the actual product shape.

Can I control shadow softness?

Yes. Shadow intensity, angle, and softness are configurable in settings — so you can match brand imagery or set a consistent style across SKUs.
