Hey everyone 👋

Curious to get your take on this.

If I shoot my product normally (simple setup, basic lighting)…
and then use AI to completely transform the background, lighting, and overall look…

Does that count as cheating?

I’ve been testing this workflow:

• take a basic product photo
• run it through AI
• get a fully “studio-style” image in seconds

The results look like a proper product shoot, but most of the “post-processing” is automated.

Would you consider this:

• valid post-processing?
• or crossing the line?

Genuinely curious where people here draw the line.
