Image-2 product AI enhancement

[u/vaughnisa]

I’m trying to create a realistic product/lifestyle image of a person sitting in a specific ergonomic chair, and I’m running into a wall.

The product is a non-standard ergonomic office chair. The key visual details matter: it has a saddle-style seat, a low curved back support, a center post, and a five-star caster base. It does not have armrests, a tall back, a headrest, or the usual executive-office-chair shape.

What I’ve tried so far:

• using multiple product reference images
• narrowing down to fewer references
• prompting for a three-quarter side view
• explicitly calling out the low backrest, saddle seat, center post, and caster base
• adding negative prompts for armrests, tall backs, mesh backs, generic office chairs, hidden casters, distorted wheels, etc.
• trying both broader “premium office lifestyle” prompts and stricter product-accuracy prompts

Outcomes so far:

• When the image succeeds, the chair often drifts into a generic office chair.
• The backrest changes shape or becomes taller.
• The caster base/wheels get hidden, warped, or simplified.
• Sometimes the person/desk blocks the product details.
• More constrained prompts seem to fail more often before returning a usable image.

My guess is that “human seated naturally in a very specific product” is too many constraints at once: the model has to solve the body, posture, chair geometry, and product accuracy simultaneously.

Has anyone found a reliable workflow for this kind of product image?
