Reflections
Photorealistic car photos in your car's own paint.
No pasted backgrounds. Paint, glass and chrome stay exactly as you shot them, reflections included.
What it does
Your car is the one you photographed.
Your photo already carries its light, and Studio keeps it. The car's pixels are cut from your photo and placed in a studio rendered at the same camera angle.
- A contact shadow predicted from the car's own outline
- Window glass flattened, so the old dealership lot can't show through
- Nothing repaints the car: buyers zoom into what your camera recorded
Tip: shoot in soft, even light with plain surroundings, and the reflections in the paint sit naturally in the studio.
Why it matters to a dealer
Photorealism matters most where presentation drives price.
Buyers zoom in on paint, trim and glass. If a photo reads as artificial, trust in the listing drops.
- No pasted backgrounds, flat light or mismatched reflections
- Most valuable on performance, prestige and high-spec inventory
- A reliable standard on every car, not one lucky image
Where it fits in your workflow
Built into every image. Nothing to configure.
Not a separate step or setting. Set your studio once, process your cars, and every image comes back the same way:
- Your car, your studio, a matching shadow
- Built into every image, nothing to switch on
- The same photo in the same studio gives the same result
