Note: This article describes editing a product image using the Product editor. We assume that you have already connected Photoroom to your store and have listings in your Product catalog.


Steps (Web App)

To make changes to an image layer on a product image, follow the video and instructions below. The instructions are divided into separate sections and they are all optional.

Note: To cancel an unwanted change, use the Undo option in the header.


Control which parts of a layer are kept or removed

Use the Edit Cutout option on the layer's pill menu to enter Edit Cutout mode.

In Edit Cutout mode, you can:

  • Erase parts of the layer

  • Restore parts of the layer that have been removed, such as the background.

To learn more about using Edit Cutout's erase and restore features, see How to use Edit Cutout.


Remove parts of a layer with Retouch

Use Retouch on the layer's pill menu to remove part of a layer. Photoroom replaces the removed area with realistic and appropriate AI-generated content.

To learn more, see How to use Retouch.


Add a highlight with Light On

Use Light On on the layer's pill menu to add a highlight to the layer.

The Light On feature is available on various types of layer and you can find out about it in Apply a studio-light effect to product images (Web App).


Adjust the brightness, contrast, and more

Use the Adjust settings to make changes to the layer's appearance. There are many settings you can change, including brightness, highlights, saturation, and opacity.

The Adjust settings are available on many types of layer and you can find out about them in Adjust brightness, contrast, and more in the Product editor (Web App).


Crop the image layer

Use the Crop setting to trim the image layer so that it is smaller and contains less content.

Crop is available on many types of layer and you can find out about it in Crop layers on product images (Web App).
