Forty looks across a 10-SKU capsule, generated over a weekend. Project plan, tool stack, time budget — White Studio for the catalog spine, Image Creation for moodboard alts, Batch Creation for the long tail.

Forty looks across a 10-SKU capsule, generated over a weekend. This workflow plans the project — tool stack, time budget, and cost — for a small fashion brand to ship a full lookbook entirely on Apiway.

The weekend plan

Day 1 (Friday): Catalog spine

  • Generate White Studio at 4:5 for each of 10 SKUs, 4 poses each = 40 catalog shots. Same model identity throughout. Time budget: ~30 min upload, ~60 min generation.
  • Pick a marketplace avatar instead of a preset model if you want a real-creator look across the catalog.

Day 2 (Saturday): Lifestyle alts

  • Pick 2–3 marketplace creators on Explore whose vibe matches the capsule.
  • Run Styled Photoset on each garment for 1–2 lifestyle alts. ~20–30 outputs.

Day 3 (Sunday): Detail + ghost mannequin

  • Run Ghost Mannequin batch over all 10 garments — 50-image batch capacity covers it in one request.
  • Run Image Creation for 5 abstract / mood images for the lookbook intro pages.
  • Final pass through Post Production Filters for tone consistency.

Cost estimate

  • 40 White Studio at 2K (~14 credits each): 560 credits.
  • 25 Styled Photoset at 2K (~14 + ~10 marketplace surcharge): ~600 credits.
  • 10 Ghost Mannequin at 2K: ~140 credits.
  • 5 Image Creation at 2K, 1 variant each: ~70 credits.
  • Total ~1,370 credits = $13.70. Comfortably inside the Starter plan (1,000 credits) plus topup, or any paid plan from Basic ($29) up.
