I have to place a product photo onto the proposed packaging artwork today so marketing can OK the dieline. Tell me whether a flat projection will betray form, or whether I must warp and shadow the product to match the package curvature. Give me the concrete steps to align, warp, and shade the product so the artwork reads realistic and prints correctly without me spending the afternoon finessing layers.

Whiten the interior whites after balancing overall exposure and color in your photo. Doing it at this stage ensures consistent lighting and avoids color shifts.

Use a combination of adjustment layers like Levels, Curves, or White Balance. Mask the areas that need whitening and feather the edges for a natural transition.

Applying locally with a soft brush helps avoid harsh lines or unnatural flatness, especially in interior shots.

Always zoom in and toggle the before/after view to check if the whites look realistic. Less is more.

A photographer or a real estate image editor often performs this task to make spaces appear more appealing and larger. They focus on clean, bright interiors.

AI can automate some adjustments, like tonal corrections or masking. However, it may produce unnatural results if overused. Always review AI edits carefully.

AI tools are best for quick adjustments, but fine-tuning with manual layers ensures control and realism.
