How to Swap Products Into Scenes at Scale

Use Batch when you want to swap many products into the same type of scene or creative setup.

This is useful when you have several SKUs and need a consistent campaign system, but do not want to edit each image one by one.

Use This For

Use this workflow when you need to:

swap one product into many existing scenes
swap many SKUs into a consistent campaign style
create product variants from the same visual system
create images where each SKU keeps its own colour tone or visual character
refresh an existing scene set with a new product range

If you only need to edit one image, use Editor or Quick Edit. If you need the same product swap across many assets, use Batch.

Decide The Type Of Swap You Need

There are two common versions of this workflow.

Straight Product Swap

Use this when the scene should stay as close as possible to the original image.

This is best when the existing image is already right and you only want to replace the product.

For this workflow, use the Swap Product Into Scene action in Batch. You do not need to build a custom prompt-led workflow for a straight swap.

Adaptive Product Swap

Use this when the new SKU should fit naturally into the scene, and the colour tone, styling, props, or lighting accents can adjust slightly for each SKU.

This is best when you are creating a campaign set where each SKU should feel considered, not just pasted into the same background.

Prepare The Inputs

Before creating the batch, gather:

the source images or scenes you want to update
the product image or product reference for each SKU
any packaging or artwork references that must be preserved
a clear decision on whether the scene should stay fixed or adapt to each SKU
a review checklist for product accuracy

Use clean product references. The product should be visible, uncropped, and easy to understand. If packaging text, artwork, or shape matters, use a source image where those details are clear.

Create The Batch

Open Batch.
Select the images you want to update.
Choose Swap Product Into Scene.
Add the product image or product reference for each SKU.
Add any supporting references needed for packaging, colour, finish, or scale.
For a straight swap, follow the action setup and keep the instruction focused on preserving the original scene.
For an adaptive SKU swap, add direction for how the colour tone, props, or lighting accents can adapt.
Run a small test batch first.
Review the test results.
Adjust the setup if needed.
Run the full batch.
Review and approve the final outputs.

Straight Product Swap In Batch

For a straight product swap, choose Swap Product Into Scene in Batch.

Use this action when the source image should remain as close as possible to the original and only the product should change.

In the setup, keep the direction simple:

use the selected source images as the scenes to preserve
use the product reference as the product to swap in
preserve the scene, lighting, camera angle, shadows, and composition as closely as possible
preserve the new product's shape, label, colour, proportions, and visible packaging details
avoid changing the background, props, or model unless required to make the product fit naturally

Prompt For An Adaptive SKU Swap

Use this when each SKU should feel natural in the same campaign world, but the creative details can adapt to the product.

Replace the product with the new SKU reference.
Keep the overall scene structure and campaign style consistent.
Adapt the colour tone, props, and lighting accents so each image feels matched to the new SKU.
Preserve the product shape, label, colour, proportions, and visible packaging details.
Do not invent new claims, text, logos, or pack artwork.

Review The Outputs

Review a small test batch before running the full batch.

Check:

the correct SKU appears in each output
product shape and proportions are preserved
labels, logos, pack artwork, and key text are accurate
the product is not stretched, warped, or cropped
scale and perspective feel natural
shadows and contact points make sense
the background did not change more than intended
adaptive colour changes still feel on-brand

If the product is accurate but the scene changed too much, make the prompt stricter.

If the product feels pasted in, allow the prompt to adapt lighting, contact shadows, props, or colour tone more naturally.

When To Use Photoshoots Instead

Use Photoshoots if you want Riverflow to generate new product imagery inspired by a scene, style, prompt, or reference.

Use Swap Product Into Scene in Batch if you already have a set of source images and need a repeatable product replacement workflow across many assets.
