Hello, The magic media generation tool is great at creating and replacing the background of a product photo. However when I use the exact same prompt for a different product image that I want to change it’s never quite the same. Is there a way to change the background so it is the same for every image so when customers look through my website its looks nice and consistent?

thank you

Hey @ShepleysButcher .

Thanks for reaching out.

That is a great question! At the moment, we do not have a specific time frame to provide to when this feature will be available - however, I can let you know that our internal teams are working on this. With that being said, I can provide this feedback to our developers as a suggestion. We appreciate you taking the time to bring this to our attention and provide you feedback.

Let us know if you have any questions.

Following this as I’m wondering the exact same question. It’s such a great tool but unfortunately rendered useless for me until consistency in the backgrounds can be achieved… I hope this function will be available soon! :crossed_fingers:

Following the same question that was raised. Any solution to keep the same background across different products?

Has this been fixed yet? I’d hope Shopify could have sorted this since it’s been a year now since this thread…??‍ :male_sign:
