The master prompt
Create a square 1:1 commercial e-commerce photograph of [PRODUCT] placed in [ROOM] on [SURFACE], with [SCALE_CUES], framed as [COMPOSITION], using [LIGHTING] and [PALETTE]. Keep the product crisp, shoppable, geometrically clean, and naturally integrated into the home. No readable text, logos, watermark, people, duplicates, or warped geometry.

Style: Clean contextual e-commerce photography with realistic home placement.
Lighting: Morning, evening, and task light preserve a catalog-readable product silhouette.
Composition: The home gives scale and use context while the product remains crisp and dominant.

Consistency / testing notes
Shoppable clarityCONSISTENT
Every image keeps one product visually clear in a realistic home context.
Scale communicationCONSISTENT
Nearby objects and architecture give useful, intuitive scale cues.
GeometryMOSTLY CONSISTENT
Products remain recognizable, with expected variation in small joins and edges.
All four demos use final master prompt version v1-b7-scale-at-home-product-vignettes; only declared variable values changed. Four authentic generations were assessed as one set.
Tips for better results
- Use familiar home objects as scale references.
- Leave enough quiet space around the hero for commerce crops.
- Add exact specifications and copy in the commerce layer.
Limitations
- Generated scale is illustrative rather than dimensional proof.
- Small product details and room proportions may vary.
- Review claims, safety, and retail accuracy separately.
