   → Select matching settings

3. Process in batches
   → 50 images max per batch
   → Same shadow/background

4. Download and organize
   → Consistent file naming
   → Ready for upload

Testing Settings

Before processing a large batch:

Upload 2-3 test images
Try different settings
Compare results
Apply winning settings to full batch

Handling Failures

If an image fails:


1. Check original image quality
2. Ensure file isn't corrupted
3. Try re-uploading
4. Process individually if needed

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Image quality degraded → Use higher resolution setting → Start with higher quality input

Shadow looks unnatural → Try different intensity → Check original lighting direction

Background not clean → Input image may have complex edges → Pre-process with Background Removal

Processing stuck → Refresh page and retry → Process smaller batches

Workflow Integration

With Background Removal


Step 1: Background Removal
