Master SellerPic's Lifestyle Scene Feature: Create Professional Context Images Without a Studio
Introduction
In today's competitive e-commerce landscape, product presentation can make or break your sales. While standard product photos on plain backgrounds are necessary, they often fail to tell a story or create an emotional connection with potential buyers. SellerPic's Lifestyle Scene feature solves this problem by allowing you to create professional contextual images without the need for expensive photoshoots or complex editing skills.
This powerful AI-driven tool offers two versatile modes that can transform how you present your products online. In this comprehensive guide, we'll walk you through how to use both modes effectively to elevate your product listings.

The AI handles all aspects of integration automatically, including size adjustment, positioning, lighting, and shadows, creating a natural-looking result.

This mode is ideal when you have professional background photos or specific placement requirements.

Pro Tips for Getting the Best Results
Creating Effective Scene Descriptions for Prompt Mode
The quality of your scene description directly impacts the final result. Here are some tips for writing effective descriptions:
- Be specific about the environment (kitchen, bedroom, office, etc.)
- Mention lighting conditions (bright natural light, soft evening glow, etc.)
- Include details about furniture and decor style (modern, rustic, minimalist, etc.)
- Consider the mood you want to convey (cozy, professional, luxurious, etc.)
Example: "A cozy Scandinavian-style living room with soft afternoon light coming through sheer curtains, featuring a light gray sofa with colorful throw pillows, a wooden coffee table, and potted plants."
Choosing the Right Background for Image Mode
When selecting background images for Image Mode, consider these factors:
- Relevance to your product and target audience
- Appropriate scale and perspective for your product
- Consistent lighting direction for natural integration
- Sufficient empty space for product placement
- High-quality, professional-looking backgrounds
Product Photo Preparation
For both modes, your product photo quality matters:
- Use high-resolution images with good lighting
- Remove or minimize shadows in the original product photo
- Products with plain or transparent backgrounds work best
- Ensure your product is the main focus of the image
Real-World Examples
Example 1: Using Prompt Mode for a Bedroom Rug
We tested Prompt Mode with a bedroom rug photographed against a plain background. After uploading the rug, we entered the description: "A modern bedroom with soft morning light, featuring a king-size bed with plush bedding, stylish nightstands, and elegant wall decor."
The AI generated a beautiful bedroom scene with the rug perfectly positioned on the floor, with realistic lighting and shadows. The result was a professional lifestyle image that showed the rug in context, helping customers visualize how it would look in their own homes.
Example 2: Using Image Mode for Headphones
For a pair of headphones, we utilized Image Mode by uploading both the product photo and a professional studio background. Using the brush tool, we marked the exact spot where we wanted the headphones to appear. The AI seamlessly integrated the headphones into the background, creating a stunning promotional image that looked professionally photographed.
