AI Shoot Input Requirements

This guide outlines the specifications your images must meet to ensure optimal quality and timely delivery when using AutoRetouch’s AI Shoot. Providing high-quality input is essential for achieving market-leading results.

General input requirements

• File Format: All images must be in one of AutoRetouch’s supported file formats.
• Single Garment Focus: Each image must feature only one SKU (stock-keeping unit).
• Maximize Garment Area: The garment should occupy the largest possible proportion of the image (e.g., cropping the mannequin slightly is acceptable). This ensures the AI can operate at the highest possible resolution on the product itself.
• Avoid Complex Details: Garments should generally not have complex, busy patterns, transparent sections, or overly intricate/unusual shapes. These elements can reduce final quality.
• Minimum Resolution: A minimum resolution of 1.5K is required for all inputs.
• Required views: front (required), back (required for back views generation)

Supported garment input types

AI Shoot works well with the following input types:

Pre-processing

All inputs must be provided on a solid or transparent background. If your images need cleaning (background removal, mannequin removal, etc.), they can be processed through AutoRetouch workflows first before being used as AI Shoot inputs.

Input Type	Description
Flat Lay	A picture of the garment laid flat on a surface.
Ghost Mannequin	A composite image of the garment, typically showing the inner collar/neck-join (ghosted effect).
Ghosted Garment	An image of the garment with the background removed, often taken on-model or on a mannequin initially.
