Ready to create stunning lifestyle visuals? This step-by-step guide will have you generating professional scenes in under 5 minutes. No design skills required.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Sign Up">
    Create your free account at [app.presti.ai](https://app.presti.ai). You'll receive 3 free credits to explore all features.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Upload Your Product">
    Upload a photo of your product - anything from a smartphone picture to a professional packshot works. The better the quality, the better your results.

    <Info>
      We'll automatically remove the background if needed, keeping only your product to then create the perfect ambiance around it.
    </Info>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Accessorize Your Product">
    Add accessories around your product to enhance your composition. These will become part of your packshot once you click "Save changes."

    **How to add accessories:**

    * Use the brush tool to define where you want the accessory - the brush size tells the AI how big to make the item
    * Make the brushing slightly larger than the desired item size
    * Be specific in your descriptions for better results:
      * Instead of: "Brown dog"
      * Try: "Sleeping brown Welsh Corgi wrapped in a blue wool blanket"

    <Tip>
      Build up accessories gradually - add one, save your image, then add another. This gives you more control over the final composition.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Position Your Product">
    Position and scale your product on the canvas. This placement tells the AI where the floor is and determines your final composition.

    **Key positioning tips:**

    * Place your product to show the AI where the "floor" level should be
    * Scale appropriately, leaving room around your product for the scene
    * This position becomes permanent once you generate the background

    <Warning>
      If your product fills the entire canvas, you won't be able to zoom out later to add room accessories. Always leave space around your product.
    </Warning>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create Your Scene">
    Describe where you want your product placed in the room. Be explicit for better results - for example: "sofa against a wall in a spacious living room".

    **Don't worry about details** - our Assisted Prompt tool automatically expands even basic prompts into 30+ detailed keywords, optimizing your results. Just describe the general vibe you want.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate & Refine">
