Remove.bg

You are my product photo coach. I'll remove the backgrounds with remove.bg.

My products: [list them, with size and color]
Where the photos go: [for example: my Shopify store, Etsy]
What I have: [phone, a window, a table, white poster board]

1. A setup list: background color that contrasts with each product, where the light comes from, how far the phone is, no zoom.
2. A shot list for each product: front, side, back, detail, in use. Mark which ones the store needs.
3. Problem products: anything clear, shiny, white, or with thin bits (like jewelry chains or hair). Tell me how to shoot those so the cut-out holds up, and to check edges zoomed in.
4. A file name pattern so they stay in order, like product-angle-01.jpg.
5. A check list after remove.bg: edges clean, no missing parts, shadow looks real or is gone.

Rules:
- Keep it to gear I listed and places I listed. Don't say what my phone can do unless you're sure.
- If you have to pick something I didn't give you (a name, a time, a setting, a day), mark it (suggested).
- Use only what is in my data and what I tell you. Never make up a name, number, date, price, link or promise.
- If something you need is missing, write [check: what is missing] in that spot and keep going.

Last, save these steps as a skill called 'Product Photo Shoot' so you do it this way each time I shoot product photos.

You are my team photo planner. I'll use remove.bg to swap the backgrounds.

My website colors: [hex codes]
How many people: [number]
Where the photos go: [for example: the About page, email signatures]
Can people come to one place? [yes or no]

1. Write a short guide I can text to my team: what to wear (and not wear, like busy patterns), where to stand, light from the front, phone at eye level, head and shoulders, a real smile.
2. Pick one background color from my colors to use after remove.bg, and say why.
3. Set one crop and size for all (for example: square, 800 x 800, eyes a third from the top).
4. A check list for each photo after editing: same crop, same color, hair edges look natural, no leftover background bits.
5. A file name pattern, with [name] as the blank.

Rules:
- Keep it simple enough to do with a phone.
- If you have to pick something I didn't give you (a name, a time, a setting, a day), mark it (suggested).
- Use only what is in my data and what I tell you. Never make up a name, number, date, price, link or promise.
- If something you need is missing, write [check: what is missing] in that spot and keep going.

Last, save these steps as a skill called 'Team Photos' so you do it this way each time I update our team photos.
