Reshoot nothing. **Colorways** changes the color of a single garment in a photo we already have. The fabric, light, pose, and every other garment remain as shot, turning one sample into a complete color range. ## How to use Colorways 1. **Upload one photo.** Start with a lookbook image, model photo, flat lay, or product shot. 2. **Pick the garment and the color.** Select the piece to change and choose its target shade. 3. **Download the colorways.** Export every variation as its own image for a product page or line sheet. ## One photograph carries the whole range Pick a piece in either look and watch it take a new color while everything else holds still. ### Look 01: Studio denim This is the source photo, exactly as shot.

Only the selected piece takes the new shade. ### The material stays true Denim keeps its wash and nylon keeps its sheen. The new color sits in the fabric instead of flattening it into a flat tint. ### A full range from one sample Photograph one colorway and merchandise them all. Test shades before production and keep product pages consistent. ## Frequently asked questions ### Do I need a new photo for each color? No. One photograph is the source for every colorway. Choose the garment and color, and Colorways produces a new image with everything else unchanged. ### Will the fabric texture survive the recolor? Yes. The weave, wash, seams, and way light falls on the material carry into the new color. A recolored garment reads as the same fabric in a different dye lot. ### How is this different from a hue shift in an editor? A hue slider moves every pixel in a selection, tending to flatten texture and spill onto skin or background. Colorways re-renders only the garment, keeping edges clean and leaving the rest of the frame untouched. ### What kinds of photos work? Studio shots, lookbook photography, and ecommerce product images work. Start from a clean photo of the garment you want to recolor, on a model or by itself.
