What is Preserve Product Texture and Lighting?
A successful recolor changes the product color while keeping the original highlights, shadows, seams, grain, and material detail readable.
What you can do
- Use a well-lit source image.
- Avoid clipped highlights or crushed shadows.
- Choose target colors that can still carry visible material contrast.
Step 1: Inspect the original texture
Identify the details that must remain visible before applying a new color.
Step 2: Preview one target color
Check highlights, shadow transitions, and edge detail before adding more variants.
Step 3: Compare at full size
Review the recolored product beside the source image and look for flattened or missing texture.
