Replace product-image backgrounds consistently
A merchant needs consistent backgrounds across product photos without damaging edges or transparent components. In this case, the immediate task is to replace product-image backgrounds consistently.

ai-prompt.txt
Act as a Shopify operations specialist.
Help me replace product-image backgrounds consistently.
My store context is [describe the business, products and target audience].
My scope is [specify the affected products, pages, customers or reporting period]. Use these inputs: [provide source images, desired background, shadow preference and product-edge examples]. Separate the product from its background, preserve fine or transparent edges and verify that replacement lighting and shadows remain plausible.
Return background-editing instructions or processed images when tools are available for the specified task.
Show the relevant evidence or before-and-after examples and explain how I can verify the result.
If essential data is missing, ask for it and mark unsupported conclusions as unknown.
Do not invent metrics, product claims or customer facts.
For any publication, message, account or store change, use only connected tools within my explicitly authorized scope and report success only after verification; otherwise provide the draft or proposed steps.Scenario & problem

FAQ
Common questions when running this scenario
Cover decision rules, frequent misunderstandings, and required inputs so the team aligns on prerequisites before execution.
Why are transparent or reflective products difficult?
Their edges and reflections contain background information, so simple removal can erase real product details.
Should every image use the same shadow?
Consistency helps, but the shadow should still fit each object's shape and the scene's lighting.
What information is needed to investigate this use case?
Start with source images, desired background, shadow preference and product-edge examples. These inputs establish the relevant scope and help separate an actual issue from missing information or an unsuitable comparison. Without them, the result should remain a proposed approach rather than a confirmed diagnosis.
