The angles, standardised
| Image | What it is | How it was made |
|---|---|---|
| Hero (320) | The product on white, black-text logo, model name | Your real product photo placed on the studio white. Free, nothing invented |
| More angles (377) | Your other white-background photos of the same product | Same real photos, same framing and logo. Free |
| Fitted / in car (250) | Up to two real fitted photos per product, framed on white | Your real photos, untouched, in a white frame. Free |
| Car (167) | Satin black car, V33 HVE plate, black-text logo on the wall | The photo-real car from Run I3 with only the room changed to a white studio |
| In the box (1) | The six kit items, numbered | The same kit photo on white |
| What you get (20) | Feature list card | Same wording as before, white layout |
No extra angles were generated. Where there was no second real photo of a product, it has fewer images rather than a made-up one.
All 167 cars
Consistency: what came off the listings
- All 1717 dark-set images were detached from the listings, not deleted. They are still in Shopify > Content > Files.
- 112 older real photos were not carried into the white set (third and later fitted photos, collages, brand banners). Every image, in both sets, is listed in
product-images\switch\image-sets.csv.
Switch back in one command
Open PowerShell in C:\Users\sham\Documents\VEEHIVE-Brand\product-images and run:
.\switch-images.ps1 dark for the dark look.\switch-images.ps1 white for the white look
It restores the whole set on every product in the right order, with alt text, then checks the live store. Tested both ways on three live products. The full switch of all 320 products was run with this script. It takes about 10 minutes through Claude Code, or 1 to 2 minutes once the Shopify CLI is authorised on the PC (see the note on your screen).
Spend
| What | Images | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| 167 cars moved to a white studio (GPT Image 2.6, 0.5 each) | 167 | 83.5 |
| White background for the Vito screen and the kit photo (Nano Banana Pro, 2 each) | 2 | 4 |
| One rejected screen (it changed a word on the display, so your real photo was used instead) | 1 | 2 |
| Total | 170 | 89.5 credits, about £4.48 |
Everything else was made on the PC for free. The cap shared with the white website is £15.
Your call
- The logo's needle is white, so it does not show on white (as you said, fine for now).
- A few of your own photos already carry a VEEHIVE logo inside the picture, so those images show the logo twice.
- Trackers and some cameras and accessories only have lifestyle photos, so their hero is that photo framed on white, not a cut-out product.
- 46 active products are not published to the online store, so they were left alone (same as before).
