# Manage image templates

> Set the standard your product images are held to, and choose which products each one covers.

A template is the standard your product images are held to. It sets the
scenario, output size, format, quality, background and lighting. Products whose
images fall outside the template that applies to them show up in Fix, where you
can reframe them to it.

## Open image templates

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

  <Step title="Open Images">Choose **Images** from the list of standards.</Step>

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

The list opens on the templates that apply to products: your store default, plus
any template you have given rules about which products it covers. Switch to
**Only when you pick it** to see templates that run only when you choose them
for a job.

## Choose a scenario

Choose the scenario that matches the image result you want.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Studio">
    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">
    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">
    Best for campaign, seasonal, or lifestyle images.

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

  <Tab title="Flat-lay">
    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.
