The moments that lead here
If one of these is your afternoon, you are in the right place.
I’m building a visual language for product listings that uses compositing to show objects in context, but I want a higher bar: shadows and light must be physically plausible, not faked. No rush, but I want a checklist and one compositing asset that guarantees realism across hires. What do I lock down first—light direction templates, shadow softness range, or color spill rules?

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment
+I need a short compositing standard that guarantees physically plausible placements for studio pieces on lifestyle backgrounds. Decide which single constraint to codify first (consistent light direction, shadow softness ranges, or color spill handling), and provide a compact checklist and one reusable asset (shadow template or ambient occlusion overlay) that will ensure consistent, believable mockups across assistants and seasons.
