How to enhance the texture of a lipstick in a product photo with AI?

Place the lipstick in the exact center of the turntable. The studio has a integrated laser centering system to ensure accurate positioning, thus avoiding rotation errors that could affect the quality of the animation. 📍

You can also help yourself with center point of the plateau. Finally, check on your screen that the product is in the center and well oriented in front of the camera. 💻

✨ Tip : Make sure the lipstick is stable. If you are working on a small or cylindrical product that may move, use a piece of adhesive tape or clear double-sided tape.

The Orbitvu AI Assistant comes with a powerful feature to suggest the best light configurations depending on the type of product. 💄

Once your lipstick is positioned, click on the “AI” icon and let the AI Assistant Scan the product and offer several adapted lighting options.🤖

The AI will offer you 4 light templates different, choose the one that highlights your lipstick the most. For our packshot we chose the Posh template.

Lighting is the key element in magnifying the reliefs of a product. Lipstick, with its semi-matt or glossy texture, can reflect differently depending on the light sources. 💡

Adjust your device settings: Low ISO (100-200) to minimize digital noise, Medium opening (f/8 to f/11) for optimal sharpness and shutter speed stable at 1/125. 📷

After taking a photo by pressing the 📷 icon to check that all settings are optimal, click “Capture All” to start shooting. 🎬

For photos that require sharp textured details, you can use the technique of Focus Stacking with Orbitvu's Superfocus tool. 🔍

Photo editing plays a key role in enhancing the texture of a lipstick. 💄

Adjust the tint And the saturation to make the product match its physical version, while making it appealing on the screen.

At this stage, highlight the texture: 💡

• Apply a slight increase in local sharpness to the stick.
• Subtly enhance contrasts to highlight streaks and reliefs.

However, avoid amplifying these changes excessively, at the risk of giving an artificial appearance or denaturating the product. 🚨

One of the advantages of Orbitvu is its Autopolisher, which automatically edits your images to correct minor blemishes, adjust contrasts, and improve sharpness.
