What Is a Preset?
A preset is a saved configuration that defines how your packshots will look.
It includes settings such as:
camera angles
lighting setup
background style
shadows
product scale
padding and framing
Once created, a preset can be applied to any number of products, ensuring a consistent visual result.
Why Use Presets?
Presets help you:
Save time by avoiding repeated manual setup
Ensure consistency across your product catalog
Scale production by applying the same style to multiple products
Instead of configuring each image individually, you define your visual style once and reuse it.
How to Create a Preset
Follow these steps to create a new preset:
1. In the Preset page of the Render Studio, click on “Create”. In the pop-up, click on “Select Preset” > “Create New Preset”.
2. Configure the Visual Settings - define how your packshots should look by adjusting:
Lighting
Angles
Styles, i.e.:
Background style
Shadows (on/off)
Product scale
Padding and framing
Take a moment to preview your setup and ensure it matches your desired visual style.
3. Name and Save the Preset - once you’re satisfied:
Enter a name for your preset
Save it for future use.
Choose a clear and descriptive name so it’s easy to reuse later.
How to Use a Preset
Presets are applied when creating a packshot order.
Managing Your Presets
You can manage your presets at any time.
Typical actions include:
Editing a preset to adjust visual settings
Duplicating a preset to create variations
Renaming presets for clarity
Deleting presets you no longer need
Best Practices
Use clear naming conventions (e.g. “White background – Front angle”)
Create standard presets for your main use cases
Reuse presets across products to maintain consistency
Duplicate presets instead of starting from scratch when creating variations
