# Manage image templates

> Create and choose reusable image templates for product image workflows.

Image templates control how Atlios processes images. A template stores the
scenario, output size, format, quality, background, lighting, and other settings
used by image jobs.

## Open image templates

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Products">Open the store, then go to **Products**.</Step>

  <Step title="Open product settings">
    Open product settings and choose the image settings area.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review templates">
    Check the current templates and which one is marked as the store default.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Choose a scenario

Choose the scenario that matches the image result you want.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Studio product">
    Best for clean product shots on one solid color.

    Set a backdrop color, shadow style, light direction, output size, format,
    and quality.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Background removal">
    Best for cutting out a product.

    Choose transparent output for design workflows or a solid color for
    marketplace requirements. Transparent output uses PNG.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Editorial / lifestyle">
    Best for campaign, seasonal, or lifestyle images.

    Describe the scene you want, then choose shadow and lighting settings.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Flat-lay / top-down">
    Best for garments photographed from above.

    Choose a surface prompt, such as linen or wood, or use a solid color
    backdrop.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="On-model">
    Best for showing garments on a model.

    Choose framing, pose, and setting. Atlios uses product context when it can
    to fit the result to the item.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Create a template

<Steps>
  <Step title="Select New template">
    Choose **New template** in the image templates list.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick a scenario">
    Select the type of image treatment you want.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Name the template">
    Use a name your team will understand, such as `White background 2048` or
    `Flat-lay linen`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set output">Choose width, height, format, and quality.</Step>
  <Step title="Save">Save the template so it appears in image jobs.</Step>
</Steps>

## Use templates in jobs

* The store default template is used when no other template is selected.
* You can set a template for the whole job before processing.
* You can override the template for selected images.
* If you change the template for an already processed image, reprocess that
  image before approving it.

<Tip>
  Keep template names plain and specific. Names like `Studio white square` or
  `Transparent PNG` are easier for first-time users than internal campaign
  names.
