What is the draft creation workflow?

Overview

Every draft in GRYYD progresses through a structured 6-step workflow: Setup, Generating, Selection, AI Editing, Overlays (coming soon), and Download. Progress is automatically saved as you work, allowing you to pause and resume at any time.

Step 1: Setup

The Setup step is where you configure all generation parameters before AI processing begins.

Required Inputs:

• Product Photos: Upload 1-10 images of your product from different angles
• Angle Labels: Specify viewing angle for each photo (Front, Side, Back, Top, 45° Angled, etc.)
• Image Description (Prompt): Describe the desired scene, background, lighting, and mood in natural language

Optional Inputs:

• Reference Images: Upload 1-5 example images showing desired style, composition, or aesthetic
• Reference Descriptions: Add notes explaining what you like about each reference image

Generation Settings:

• Aspect Ratio: Choose 16:9 (Landscape), 9:16 (Vertical), 4:5 (Portrait), or 1:1 (Square) based on platform requirements
• Number of Variations: Select 1-10 variations to generate (affects credit cost)
• What to Vary: Choose focus areas (Mood, Composition, Lighting, Background, Color Palette, Perspective)

Example Setup: ``` Product Photos: 5 images (front, left, right, back, 45° angle) Prompt: "Product on wooden table in cozy café setting, warm afternoon lighting, coffee cup and pastry in background, Instagram aesthetic" Aspect Ratio: 1:1 (Instagram feed post) Variations: 4 What to Vary: Composition, Lighting, Background ```

Step 2: Generating

After clicking "Generate Images," AI processes your inputs and creates variations. This typically takes 1-3 minutes depending on complexity and variation count.

What Happens:

• AI analyzes product photos to understand shape, texture, and angles
• Interprets your prompt and reference images
• Generates the specified number of variations with different creative directions
• Progress bar shows real-time status with estimated time remaining

During Generation:

• You can close the browser—generation continues on our servers
• Return anytime to check progress
• If generation exceeds 5 minutes, refresh the page (rare, but network issues can delay updates)

Step 3: Selection

Review all generated variations and choose your favorites for further refinement or immediate download.

Available Actions:

• Preview: Click any variation to view full-screen
• Select: Check boxes on variations you want to keep (multi-select enabled)
• Delete: Remove variations you don't need (frees up visual clutter, doesn't refund credits)
• Regenerate: Not satisfied? Return to Setup, adjust settings/prompt, and generate again

Step 4: AI Editing (Optional)

Refine selected variations using conversational AI editing. Use natural language to request changes like "brighten the background" or "shift the product to the left."

How It Works:

• Select a variation from Step 3
• Enter editing requests in the chat interface
• AI generates edited versions based on your instructions
• Consumes additional credits per edit

Skip if: Your variations from Step 3 are ready to use without modifications.

Step 5: Overlays (Coming Soon)

Add text, logos, or graphic overlays to your images. This feature is currently in development.

Step 6: Download

Finalize and export your selected images in high resolution.

Download Options:

• Standard Resolution: 1024x1024px (for 1:1), equivalent resolutions for other aspect ratios—included free
• 2K Upscaling: Higher resolution (Pro/Max plans only, consumes additional credits)

Download Formats:

• High-quality JPG (default, universally compatible)
• PNG with transparency (coming soon)

Batch Download: Select multiple images and download as ZIP archive for convenience.
