THE CLIENT

Fashion Tech Startup Powering Virtual Try-On for eCommerce Brands

Our client is a high-growth fashion-tech startup specializing in AI-driven virtual try-on (VTO) solutions. The company enables brands to generate high-quality, on-model content from a single product image, effectively eliminating the need for expensive conventional shoot dependencies. By fitting new products onto existing model assets (AI-generated), the company helps clients cut content production costs by up to 80%, accelerate time-to-market without compromising visual quality, and support high-volume catalog needs.

PROJECT REQUIREMENTS

High-Precision Retouching Across Products, Models & Accessories

The project required high-precision retouching support to correct the limitations of virtual try-on AI and prepare the images for brand use. Each image had to match the actual product exactly while preserving natural fit, texture, accessories, and model presentation across a large fashion catalog. Because the scope covered multiple apparel and accessory categories, every image had to follow category-specific correction standards. The primary objective was to eliminate "AI hallucinations" while maintaining 100% product accuracy across diverse model iterations.

  • Product Integrity: Restoration of color, logos, buttons, and intricate fabric patterns to match the original product.
  • Edge & Boundary Refinement: Ensure clothing edges appear natural and seamless, eliminating any cut-and-paste appearance along garment boundaries.
  • Model Appearance Correction: Fixing distorted AI-generated features in models (hands, fingers, skin discoloration) and ensuring consistent body proportions across all SKUs.
  • Accessory Integration: Mapping & adding specific earring SKUs from a reference library to models, ensuring correct size, proportion, and placement of jewelry, handbags, etc.
  • Lighting & Shadow Consistency: Standardize lighting direction, intensity, and shadow appearance across all images within the same product set.
  • Footwear Retouching: Retouch color, shine, and straps per shoe type; correct heel proportions for Etsy and Cosmo footwear specifically.
  • Garment & Fit Accuracy: Match all garment details—neckline, sleeve length, hem, fit, and construction features—to the product reference image.
  • Cross-Image Model Standardization: Maintain uniform body proportions, skin tone, hair color, and overall model consistency across the full catalog.
  • File Output & Naming: Deliver all images at 2500 × 2000 px in JPG format, applying category-specific naming conventions for outerwear, topwear, bottomwear, and accessories.
PROJECT CHALLENGES

Managing Product Fidelity, Visual Distortion, and Catalog Consistency Across High-Volume AI-Generated Fashion Images

Although the source visuals were AI-generated, the final outputs had to perform like brand-ready fashion assets. The main challenge was maintaining product-level precision, visual consistency, and brand standards in AI-generated outputs received from the client.

  • AI outputs lacked product-level accuracy

    The AI-generated visuals often captured the garment's overall look but missed critical details, such as neckline shape, sleeve length, buttons, pleats, logos, and fabric patterns. These gaps made the images unsuitable for direct use without precise manual correction.

  • Maintaining realism while correcting AI distortions was complex

    Clothing edges, fabric fall, skin rendering, hands, and other non-target areas could appear distorted or artificially blended. The challenge was to refine these areas without making the final visual look disconnected from the original model image.

  • Consistency had to be maintained across multiple visual variables

    Skin tone shifts, lighting variations, and subtle changes in model proportions between images are common in AI outputs. Ensuring uniform skin tone, hair color, body proportions, and height across a diverse model lineup—spanning different ethnicities, ages, and body types—required constant cross-referencing. AI introduced subtle variations between images that, left uncorrected, would make a product catalog appear unprofessional.

  • Volume fluctuations added pressure to turnaround management

    Retouching demand could spike to 100–300 images per day, while instructions still varied by SKU and garment type. The challenge was maintaining accuracy and output consistency even during high-volume periods.

OUR SOLUTION

Refining AI-Generated Visuals into Product-Accurate, Catalog-Ready Fashion Images

To support the client’s workflow, we deployed a dedicated team of five retouchers and QC experts to manage the final image correction process. Their role was to fix AI-generated distortions, restore product accuracy, and ensure every image met the required quality standards.

1

Establishing SKU-Level Editing References

Each SKU was mapped to its retouching instructions before editing began, giving editors a clear reference point for every decision. This reduced cross-SKU errors and helped maintain control across high-volume batches.

  • Cross-checked each SKU against its assigned earring reference, footwear correction notes, and garment fit instructions.
  • Mapped crop requirements and category-specific naming conventions before the retouching stage.
  • Introduced a pre-production documentation review step to reduce SKU mix-ups during high-volume workflows.
2

Reference Image Matching & Visual Correction

Each AI-generated image was reviewed alongside the original product photo. The focus at this stage was to identify and correct every visible deviation so the final image matched the source product in both detail and appearance.

  • Corrected garment color deviations to match the tonal values and saturation of the original product.
  • Rebuilt distorted fabric patterns, surface textures, and material details lost during AI image generation.
  • Restored logos, labels, and print elements to their correct shape, size, and placement.
  • Reviewed and corrected product construction details such as buttons, pockets, pleats, zippers, necklines, and seam lines against the reference image.
3

Garment Edge Refinement & Blending

We focused on correcting the visible compositing marks left behind by AI garment placement. Our editors manually refined clothing boundaries to ensure the garment followed natural fabric flow, blended cleanly with the model’s body, and looked visually consistent with a professionally shot fashion image.

  • Refined garment edges to reflect natural fabric drape and realistic contact between clothing and skin.
  • Corrected shadow transitions along garment boundaries to match the image’s overall lighting direction.
  • Improved blending so the final output looked naturally worn, not digitally placed.
4

Lighting, Shadow & Color Consistency

AI-generated images within the same batch often varied in lighting, shadow direction, color temperature, and exposure. To keep the final catalog visually consistent, our team standardized these elements across the full image set, so every output followed the same visual style.

  • Aligned shadow direction and shadow intensity consistently across each image batch.
  • Corrected color temperature and balanced exposure across both the model and the garment.
  • Standardized the overall visual appearance so every image in the set looked cohesive, regardless of the original AI output.
5

Jewelry Placement & Styling Alignment

The client’s AI could generate the initial on-model image, but key accessories and detail work still needed manual refinement. To complete each output, our team added and adjusted accessories, checked consistency across the image set, and enhanced visible details that affected the garment's final look.

  • Cross-checked each SKU against the master earring reference sheet, selected the assigned asset from the shared folder, and placed it on the model.
  • Matched and verified accessory combinations and footwear colors to maintain consistency across each product grouping.
  • Enhanced visible surface details such as beading, embroidery, lace, and specialty fabrics so that embellishments remained clear at commercial image sizes.
  • Selectively retained or removed shine based on shoe type and material—leather, matte, patent, and fabric finishes, each treated differently.
  • Manually corrected disproportionate heel lengths, particularly for Etsy and Cosmo footwear, reshaping dimensions to reflect realistic proportions.
6

Model Appearance Consistency & Skin Tone Correction

Because the image sets included models across different ethnicities, age groups, and body types, even minor AI-generated inconsistencies could make the catalog look uneven at the batch level. To maintain a consistent presentation, our team standardized the model's appearance across all image sets.

  • Matched and corrected skin tone across each image set, including localized discoloration and uneven AI rendering.
  • Standardized body proportions, height, and silhouette to maintain consistency across repeated model appearances.
  • Verified and corrected hair color across all images featuring the same model.
  • Reviewed and retouched hands, fingers, and nail finish where AI had introduced visible distortions.
7

Final Crop, Export & File Preparation

Once approved, each image was prepared according to the client’s required output specifications so it could move directly into upload and catalog workflows. This final stage ensured that every file was correctly formatted, labeled, and organized for final delivery.

  • Cropped all approved images to 2500 × 2000 px and exported them in JPG format.
  • Applied category-specific naming conventions across outerwear, topwear, bottomwear, and accessories.
  • Verified that every file was correctly labeled, organized, and ready for delivery.
