No models or photographers are required. You only need:
Your necklace product photo
A model photo as a reference
A description of the photo you want
And a list of things you don't want
Pebblely uses AI to generate the model around your necklace product photo, according to your reference image and description.
💡
You need a paid subscription to generate custom backgrounds. But at the end of this tutorial, I'll share a trick for generating necklace model photos for free.
Pebblely uses your product photo as it is. It will not rotate your necklace or change the position of your necklace chain. So use a photo similar to the suitable examples above, where the necklace could fit nicely on a model’s neck or chest.
If your photo only has the pendant and a tiny part of the necklace chain, Pebblely will extend the chain to fit the necklace around the model’s neck. But the generated chain might not always match your necklace chain.
If your photo shows the entire necklace chain, you can erase part of the chain during the background removal step. The part of the chain that should be behind the model’s neck should not be visible, hence you should remove it before generating your images.
If your photo is not suitable, see if you can take another photo of your necklace.
Since we will be generating custom backgrounds, go to the "Custom" tab.
Under “Select a reference”, you can use a reference image to generate similar (but not exactly the same) images. For generating necklace model photos, using a model photo as a reference image gives you better and more consistent results.
For your convenience, here are some reference images that you can download to use in Pebblely (right-click > Save Image As...):
Or you can find similar images on free stock image sites such as Unsplash and Pexels. You want to use images that focus on where the necklace would be (similar to those above). You can use images that already have a necklace, though images without a necklace tend to work better.
The next few steps depend on the reference image you use.
You essentially want to describe your reference photo. Pebblely uses both your description and your reference image to generate images. If you omit either of them, you will get terrible results. Be warned!
Here are some description examples:
around a young woman's neck, black blouse
around a young woman's neck, white top, necklace photography
around a tanned model's neck, red casual top, necklace photography
around a blonde British model's neck, wedding gown, necklace photography
You can experiment with different ethnicities, hair colors, skin tones, and clothes. But note that your reference image will have a strong influence on the results. For instance, if you use a reference image with a red top, you will most likely get a model in a red top.
Pebblely might sometimes generate things you don’t want in the images. When you list what you don’t want, Pebblely will be less likely to generate them in the images. For example, you wouldn’t want additional necklaces in the generated images.
Here are some terms I would use:
ugly
necklace
jewelry
hands
fingers
face
If you get things in your generated images that you don’t want, add them under “List what you don’t want” and generate more images.
Referencing the reference image you used, resize your necklace so that it looks proportional to the model in your reference image. Then position your necklace on the canvas roughly where it would “appear” on the model.
If you find the steps above too much and prefer a simpler method, try our Necklace theme. Remember to use the GENERATE+ mode!
The Necklace theme gives you some variations but not as much customizability as generating custom backgrounds. But if you are not picky, this is a much faster option.
