Hey, Scott. Austin here. This episode is a very visual episode of the podcast, so if you're listening to it on audio only know there's an accompanying video that when you're at a computer, you can sit down and watch the video. Also, because the visuals can be very compelling in this one. This episode is going to be yet another episode in AI,

specifically AI generated images.

And in the past I have talked about how you can generate AI images with OpenAI AI or inside of premium apps like Photoshop. But this episode is going to be focused on some simple AI editing of images that you can do right inside of Shopify. Shopify released these features a few months back, and they're actually really powerful and have changed some of my workflows that I do in building out stores.

So I wanted to share with you some of the things that I've seen and how to use these AI tools, and how you can get the most out of them.

So what I'm going to do is I'm going to go into a product here inside the Jade Puma store, where I've loaded up some images. I'm going to show you how we can edit.

So if you're inside of Shopify admin, you go right into the product listing and you click on any one of the images that you see and it opens up this screen where you can edit some things about the image, like the name and the alt text, but now they've added some new functionality lower down on the menu over to the right

Where you can do some editing of the photo using AI tools that are built into the Shopify admin. So the first one is you can actually take out the background of the image and create like a white background or a transparent background if you wanted to. Now, the image I have on the screen is just a simple product photo I've done with a white background, but the original has a little bit of a shadow on it.

So now that I've opened up the the color background menu, it's automatically selected what it thinks is the object, and then you can just click on the white box to get a full white background. And you see that the shadow effect underneath the image is gone away.

So you can remove backgrounds really quickly and easily.

Now I'm more complex objects. The background removal is not perfect, but I'm amazed at how well it works in many, many

product photos. I've gotten to the point now where I just upload photos inside of Shopify, and then go here to this tool to remove any backgrounds that I want to remove.

but you also have this other AI functionality which is replace background.

So I'm going to click on that. And what I want you to do is describe the product. So I'm just going to say that this is a phone. And then it wants you to describe the background that you want. So I'm just going to say

in a room

in a home

with.

Lots of people.

And then I click on the generate button and you'll see what it'll do is it'll give you four options based on your prompt that it thinks matches what you're looking for. And you get to choose which of the four is the best. So here you go to the first one. Now, what it does a lot is when the product is up close and in focus, the background it gives you is very blurred.

And it gives you this effect that you can see, which is not bad at all. Otherwise it'd be really hard to make this look like the natural fit inside of that image. But you see, it's giving me four different options. Now, I did say, you know, in a room with lots of people and only two of these photos, is it actually obvious that there's people in that room, but all three of them are of a home or looks to be like a home.

It's really fuzzy, so it's hard to tell exactly, but they're not bad effects at all. Right now, let's actually change that out and let's say,

on the top

of a tall

rock

in the forest.

I don't know what this is going to give me. So it's just fun to play with sometimes and, see what happens.

So it's going to take a minute to generate those four different options for you.

And there you can see not bad. That's in the palm of my hand instead of on a rock. So sometimes it doesn't listen to you like I is prone to do on occasion. That's less on top of a rock than that first one, and you know that. So this, you know, for I would say this one comes the closest to what I was saying.

What I was saying was also, you know, just a little bit of a random thing that I threw in there. But, you know, that's one image. So

that alone should make you feel like this is a powerful tool. Right? It's it's quick and easy. It doesn't work perfectly all the time. But when it works, it works really well.

So let's go to another product here. This one already has no shadow. It already has the white background. But if you wanted to change the color of the background right, you could select the color background option and you could say, well I want that to be on a light blue background. So easy it is to make that happen.

But let's say instead you want to replace the background. So for this one here we're going to tell the object is a

bottle of nail polish.

And we're gonna describe the background that we want as in a busy.

Beauty parlor.

Let's see what it gives us.

It's going to give me my four options.

All right. It's kind of a beauty parlor effect with nail polish, but those aren't people. Same thing there. I think this is supposed to be spilled nail polish.

This was not what I was going for. You know, it's definitely focused on the nail polish part of it. So let's say in a busy beauty parlor full of customers, let's get some people in the background.

Yeah. It is not giving me people at all in this case. But you, you know, you can see it gives you this, you know, nail polish effect with the backgrounds. Let's try something completely different and let's go with,

On the pavement

in Times Square.

With many pedestrians.

In the background.

Right.

Oh. That's nice, that's nice.

Gives you definitely a dramatic effect. Right. That I was looking for. Yeah, I like that a lot. It's even got, like, the yellow taxis here in New York. That's nice. Let's try something a little bit different. And notice with this image here we're getting lots of good effects because the object was already clearly cropped to a white background.

So, you know, they can drop it into different images pretty well. So let's put it on a, marble table.

So that looks like I want to see if it doesn't blur the table. If we can get, you know, more in focus.

a top down. I wasn't expecting that. It's fuzzy. Yeah, that's a little bit better, right? Oh, that's really nice. Now that I look at the details there, see the reflection of the nail polish in the marble table? It's nice. And this last one. That's nice too. So it's just like I said, it's fun to play with these and see what you can come up with.

Let's just try another one.

In a Valentine's

theme.

Expecting a lot of red and hearts. We'll see what it gives me. Sometimes I like putting in nondescript things, like any Valentine's theme, just to see what it gives you. That's actually nice. It just, hearts in the background kind of thing.

Let's try,

in a

Christmas

gift setting.

It's nice. Ornaments in the background, some wreath. Ribbon. Yeah. It's nice. It's really nice.

So, like I said, this image is already cropped really well. Nice sharp, defined line. So it's really easy to have. I generate things that look, you know, compelling. Some of them aren't, you know, perfect. But from this you could definitely come up with some thematic elements that you want to use.

So let's move into a product photo that doesn't have the background removed yet. You can see, you know, it's a good product shot, but there's a lot of gray and shadow in the background. So let's see how it does in removing that.

This is a white product or a very white product on a mostly white background. But you see it actually does a good job in deciding what is the product and what's the background. So I put the the white to that. That's really nicely done. Right. So now let's do some replace background functions and see what we can come up with.

So I'm gonna close an ice cream tub. And let's say the background that we want here is

in a sunny park

on a

hot day.

So that gives me.

This is a sorbet and going for a hot theme. Right. We'll see. We'll see what it gives us here.

Oh that's nice. It's on a wooden bench with a good background.

Notice on this one here the shadow effect. Even I like the way that it's figuring out what the object is with the eye and doing things with that. Like we saw the reflection on the nail polish. And here's the shadow on the opposite side of the tub. That's really nicely done. No, that is not a photorealistic image to me because of the, you know, the fuzziness of it, but it could definitely be used to evoke a theme, like in an email or on a landing page.

Let's try something a little bit different here. And,

on top of a

volcano.

Maybe our little, tagline would be our sorbet was even refreshing on top of a volcano. So we'll see what it gives us here.

Not bad. I'd want to see more lava. I don't see any lava here yet. These are inactive volcano. So on top of. Let's try an active volcano and see, how it interprets that differently.

Now, these are, sorry, berries. So I'm going to do a, jungle theme here in a second. All right. The active volcano really doesn't get me anything different. All right, let's try active volcano with lava.

See what that does.

Oh, that's a little bit better. We got some lava now.

Not perfect, but but definitely an improvement. So, you know, I could see where we could iterate on that and play with a little bit and see, we could come up with. So let's go to another product photo. This one is of a portable bar.

And let's see if we can remove the background. She's got this gray shadow effect around it.

So let's see if we can remove that background.

Now I can see here it's going to remove this area over here. Right. I don't know why it's doing that but it is so what we're going to do is we're going to go down to this button here and hit choose subject. So when the it automatically doesn't pick the right background, you can affect that a little bit.

That's we're going to do here. So we hit choose subject and we'll get the plus symbol already set up. So we're just going to click. And every time I click it's going to take a second as the AI does its thing. You see the the hourglass cursor. Right. So I'm just going to put little dots in to where I think, you know, the it should be considering this part of the product and not the background.

I'm gonna put a lot of them in here. Actually, I don't want to sit here and do it all. Let's try it. Just a couple more and see what it gives us.

And then maybe we need to put more in after

that.

So let's try that and apply. So now if I put a white background to that, you can see it's not great at all.

Now where I had a lot of dots up here in the umbrella, it got that pretty clearly. So I think I need to do more dots. You know, a lot more dots. So let's try that again.

You can see as I'm putting in the dots, you can see the algorithm updating. It's kind of hard to tell here, but you'll notice if I put a dot and sometimes these little pixelation that you see will update and you'll see the AI center. I'm going to update my model here and incorporate more elements.

Into the stool tops. Especially on this product. Silver off by itself, separated from the rest of the products.

Now I'm just looking at the areas that are white on the product where it's, you know, bleeding through to the background and see if we can update those a little bit. Get that to be a little more accurate. Now, in the end, you know, sometimes it is not perfect at this or not even good or acceptable at removing the background.

In that case, you can always go back to, you know, the human method of doing it inside of Photoshop or whatever photo editing software you use. But you can inside of this Shopify admin tool, you know, play with it a little bit and make the AI, you know, logic or the what it's thinking about change a little bit on this one here is probably not worth the effort that I'm going through in the time it's taken to do this.

I'm just trying to demonstrate what you can do here.

All right. We've done enough of that. Let's apply it. Now. Yes. It's not going to work out. That's not too bad. Yeah, I still don't like that. So that one we're just going to call it ain't going to work.

So let's go on to the next product, which is these, candy bars. Now they've got, you know, like a gray background here, a little bit of a shadow effect. So let's see what we can do on the color background.

And let's turn that into a white background.

Nicely done. And the shadow effect is gone. So now we're going to replace the background.

And you know we're going to tell the two candy bars.

I don't know what telling it. You know why I'm typing in the subject. I wonder if that affects the eye and the image it generates and, you know, for the background or at all. We'll actually test that here in a second. And I think about it.

So now it's described the background we want it on, let's say, on a rough

piece of slate.

Generate.

So my first image here, that's a rough piece of slate. Notice the shadow effects it's putting in. Really nicely done. That's that's really nice. Super happy with that second one. The slate isn't as rough, but it's still a piece of slate. That's nice. This one has more of a shadow in it. Also nice. Yeah, those are all really nicely done.

So the next thing I want to test is with the slate background that I like. Let's try, describing the subject differently and see if that makes a difference. So let's call these, two gold bars instead of two candy bars.

And generate and see if it makes any difference.

Now I can see, one of the images that it's generating is a little bit different. It's got a little gold nugget thing next to it. So it does affect not a lot. The other three images are very similar to the, the first set. So let's actually change the subject again to, goldfish and see what that does.

That makes no difference. Every time it gives me little different of a slate. So the subject does make a difference what you described there, but not that much of a difference. But I do think being accurate is going to help you render an image that's more satisfying.

So we'll change our subject back to an accurate one of two candy bars. And now we're going to describe the background we want, as in a picnic basket.

My first image is more like a linen background. The second one is another linen type background. The third one is linen, maybe draped over a basket, and the last one is a picnic basket. But it's far away and really blurry. So none of those are really that good. We're gonna try it again in a different way. So we're going to say, top down view in a picnic basket with other picnic items.

As first one picnic basket in the distance is not in the picnic basket. The first one is on a table. Not a bad image, but no picnic basket. Picnic basket again. And the third one still is not in the basket. Yeah, it's having a hard time putting this in a picnic basket. Some of these photos are nice, but they're not what I'm describing.

But nonetheless pretty appealing.

So let's move on to another product photo. This one is of three chocolate pyramids, and let's see what it does for the color background.

Now you see it picked the first two of the chocolate pyramids because they're more in the screen and in focus. And the third pyramid is, you know, not all the way on the screen. It's overlapping on the edge of the image and it's not as in focus. So we're going to use the choose subject functionality to see if we can get it to incorporate all three of our pyramids.

Now on the second pyramid, there's there's like a highlight on one of the sides of the chocolate pyramid. It's very white matching the background. And I noticed before that had cropped that out. So we're going to try to include that in by you know definitely telling it. Hey that's part of the pyramid.

All right. We just find enough points here. Let's apply it and see what it looks like. Oh that's nice. Let's put a white background on it. Oh yeah. Even the second one with, the really bright side is now incorporated in now let's, see if we can do on the backgrounds of this. Let's, put it on a marble table with other items.

All right. We got four images. Oh. That's nice. A little hard here on the, the edges of the chocolate where it's got the white, because the contrast with the marble table. This is a darker gray marble. And a couple of these. See the fuzzy third object where, you know, there's a lot of bleed between, the objects in the background.

Let's see what happens on the other ones. Same thing there. Yeah. That third one is really making it difficult. All those nice shadow effects on that. That's really nice. Let's try it here on a white marble table. So we'll get that white table to match the background outline of the chocolate pyramid and see if that helps that contrast issue we're having.

Okay. It didn't lighten my tables up much, but it did let them a little bit. Yeah that one's that one's better on that third object. Definitely. Yeah I messed up the marble there a little bit, so that's okay. Not perfect. I probably would not use those, but this is also a difficult one because

We've got three chocolate pyramids in three different placements, in three different depths of field. And focus. That's a hard one, right. So let's see if we can do more of a fuzzy background one and see what happens. Let's just say

on a Christmas theme.

Okay, that looks good. Except for that white contrast issue on that third pyramid. That's okay. Yeah. It's trying, it's trying. I think that it's a tough object because it's three different depths of field and three different focuses on the three different pyramids.

So let's move on to another product.

This one is a tote bag with without a white background. It's shot outdoors by the ocean. So let's see what we can do to remove the ocean background.

Now you notice this one's taking longer to analyze. This is more complex. But now it's done. And I can see it's got the tote bag. Really well done. But the tote bag was also sitting on top of a post at the bottom, and it's included the post in the product. So let's go and try and choose our subject and see if we can remove that post.

Now before we've been talking about the pluses, but we also have the minus function, right. So we're gonna click the minus button and we're going to click areas of subject to exclude. So we're just going to click that post three times and see what that gives us.

So we're going to click the minus button and select the post. And then we're going to click the plus button and select the tote bag a few times. And see we can get here.

Oh, that looks pretty good. Let's, put a white background on it. See up here? It's got a little too much white going on, and it's still got a little bit of the post. That was looking pretty good. But not perfect. And I think that post is going to be the thing that makes it difficult to pick the object with the post perfectly the first time.

But as we try to say, you know, pick the tote bag, but not the post, that's going to make it a little bit harder. So let's try that again.

All right. This one looks good. Let's do that when we throw the white background on it. Yeah. See, it still doesn't get rid of the full post. I think we can play it out a little bit more. I'm putting some more minus buttons, but let's just move on for that for now. And let's, try to put a background on it and let's just call this a tote bag.

And let's say that we want it, in a sunny beach setting.

And, now that I'm doing that, it actually does a good job in removing the post, even though it shows it not a white image. Now, we do have sandy background, which kind of matches the the post color, but I'm not seeing any, any bit of that post in there. So this is actually working out nicely. Let's see if we can put it in a different environment.

In a farmer's market.

Now this just gives me a background of wood, paper and different backgrounds. That's no good. We'll try something different here.

Let's try in front of an elephant.

No elephants. It's just give me backgrounds for whatever reason. Nice shadow effect on a couple of them. Post is totally removed, so it's doing good on the removing the post and cropping the image. It's not doing good on, you know, crazy. Backgrounds. So let's just try one, on a tabletop in a retail store.

Now it looks pretty nice. Now it's got the blurred background effect going on. Oh, that one's got more of the table in focus with it. Some good shadow effects going on there. So one of those four is really nice. The other three aren't aren't bad. So that's, you know, pretty well done for this one where, you know, the product was sitting on top of that post and having to crop it out.

So, I like what we got going on here.

Now we're going to switch from product photos into some lifestyle photos and see what we can do there. The first image is of a sahee bowl with a wooden spoon and on a table. So let's see if we can do about, removing the background.

Now the wooden bowl and the wooden spoon have some shadow effects and when we crop out the background from the eye tool, there's some, like, scalloping effects around the edges, which doesn't look good. But let's see what happens when we try to put a background and let's just put it in a kitchen, which is one of the pre-selected backgrounds.

They have.

And see what it does, because I'm thinking some of the background colors might, you know, blend in with the scalloping and you might not notice it as much, but we'll see what happens here.

Yeah. The sculpting effect still shows up there in the spoon. It's pretty bad. The bowl you might not notice. That one's got a little darker so you don't notice as much, but it's still there. That one you almost don't notice. It's even darker, you know, in this one here, I think if we got rid of the spoon and just kept the Asahi bowl, it would be better for us.

So let's see if we can just have it show the bowl and have it not show the spoon and see what that gives us.

Yeah. This, isn't working that well. I'm going to give up on this product because, it's having a hard time with that wood edge and the shadow effects.

So we're going to move on to a lifestyle photo of a human, and let's see what we can do here. Let's just see if we can remove the background first.

Now we've got a white product or, you know, white outfit that she's wearing on kind of a white or grayish, you know, concrete background. And it did a really good job in removing the background on that one. Really good job. And round the hair even. Really. Nicely done. Now, let's see what happens when we put that change the background out.

So let's say, this is a woman as the subject and we want the background to be, in a desert hotel by the pool in Palm Springs.

Oh, these are looking really nice. The first one here is. She's by a pool. It's a fuzzy background. One at a hotel. The next one is definitely a Palm Spring. You got the palm trees and the mountains in the background, and that's really nicely done. Third one, same thing. Palm trees, mountain background and a pool. And last one, same thing.

Palm trees to mountain background. That's really nice. So let's try another one in a, in a ski resort. In Whistler Mountain.

All right. We've got definitely a mountain or a ski. Background. No resort. Yeah, it looks like all of them are more about the mountain and the ski hill than it is the resort. Let's just say in a ski resort by the Jacuzzi at, Whistler.

This one here is definitely, by a Jacuzzi. Although there's ice and snow on the on the water. And a couple of them are in more of a pool and water setting with the snow in the background, so. Not bad. Yeah, not great, but not bad. Now let's just try something little bit crazy and say, at a daycare with lots of crying children.

All right. All four images have, children. They're all blurred in the background. This first one. I can't see that any of your crying. The second one. Once again, I can't see that any are crying. The third one, there's a little, depth of field issue with this girl over on the left, but, can't see anybody crying.

Last one, you know. So all men have children? None of them. Can I tell that they're crying? But, it changed out the the look and feel of that image, but, quite a bit there. So let's move on to our next lifestyle image.

And that will be these two women, a mother and daughter pair. And let's, remove the background.

Yeah, it looks nice. You can see, it got the little thread on the sweater down here. It's actually doing well with the hair. So let's try a background.

We're going to describe the subject as two women, and we're going to describe the background as.

At a circus with clowns in the background.

So a very blurry one on the first. But if you squint, you can kind of tell it's a circus with, clowns. Second one feels more circus, see? But it's even more blurred. Third one is just colors. Fourth one kind of circus, you know. Clown. So that was a tough one for it. Let's try another, background of on the Streets of Paris.

First image on the streets. That's nice. That is nice. Like three story, you know, tan buildings like you'd see in Paris. Second one is nice. A little closer in. Yeah. These are these are pretty good. They're all the blurred background effect, but they're pretty good. Let's try on the streets of Tokyo.

All right. This is not bad. The buildings are taller than the Paris one, which is what you would expect. More glass looking.

Really? Can't see. That's Tokyo, but that's that's nicely done. The way it changed out the background, based on the city being different. And let's try one more. You know, jungle.

All right. We got definitely green jungle effect. A blurred background going on. Not too bad. Now, with this one, you know, the women have highlights from the light around, you know, their outline. And it makes it hard to blend in to a background, but, not perfect, but not bad.

Let's move on to another mother daughter pair.

And let's see if we can do about removing the background.

Now you can see in this one their hair is windblown and that makes it really hard to define the outline. So let's see what happens if we try to make that a transparent background. Go to a white one. You see how hard that is because of the hair right. So we wouldn't be able to do a solid color background on this one unless we could.

Yeah, that's not too bad. Or, you know, we have to match the color of the background to the color of their hair a little bit better if we want to make that work. But let's see if we can, replace the background and get something to work. So let's start off with, add a sunny beach.

All right. Let's see what happens to that hair. Yeah, that's just awful because of the hair. Not surprising. Same there, same there. We'd have to get something with a background that has, you know, an a similar color to what's going on with the the strands of hair from that wind blown effect. And that would be very difficult to do.

This is the kind of one you'd want a different image. This one's, you know, not going to be workable.

So let's try this. One of a man fishing. Let's see if we can do to, remove the background.

See, we've kind of lost his feet because they blended into the rocks that he was standing on quite a bit. But let's see if we can put him in a, replaced background.

Let's put him on top of a mountain looking at a sunset.

All right. Looks like we have some interesting ones here. Oh. That's nice. That is really nice. Now notice. Remember, it kind of took his shoes away. It has given him shoes back. And they're different shoes than what he was wearing before. The ones in the original photo were dark black. You couldn't actually see any detail on the shoes.

You just saw the silhouette. Now he's got these tan sneakers on in this first image and he's, you know, on top of the hill. Now he's above all the clouds, so you can't actually see. It's like the very tip of a mountain, but the next one totally on top of a mountain. Once again, it added shoes in totally looking at a sunset.

Yeah, these are nice. These are really nice. I'm super impressed by that.

All right, let's try something completely crazy. That is definitely not going to work. And that is staring down a pack of lions.

I just want to see what it's going to give us.

All right. It actually did better than I thought it was going to. We actually have him standing in the middle of a pack of lions. I didn't think there would be lions in this from, you know, the things you were playing with before. And it wasn't listening to, like, clowns and crying children. But it is definitely, you know, in this in the, Savannah with a pack of lions.

Second one. Oh, that's one even better. Not photo quality, but not bad. Yeah. The next one. Well, because he's fishing, I guess because they're in the middle, the lions are in the middle of the water in the lake, which doesn't look right, but it's also taking the context that this is a man fishing and he's got a fishing pole.

So that's probably why they're putting the lions in the lake. Now, this one, the lions are in the water like. And the last one, they were above the water. This one they're in the water and there's more in the back. Oh this is it's really trying hard to do this really well. I'm super impressed with I thought this wasn't going to work at all.

This one came out. You know, you definitely wouldn't use this in anything in your store, but it's it's doing a really good job and trying to listen to what we're saying and giving us the results that we're asking for. Super impressed.

All right. We have one more image left. And that is of two people on a boat. And they're cruising across the lake at speed. So let's see what happens when we try to, get rid of the background.

Not bad, not bad. It got rid of the the white wake on the side of the boat and all, but that's pretty good. Now let's see what happens if we try to drop this into a scene. So we're going to make the new background be in the ocean with Miami in the background.

All right. We've got. Oh, these are nice. These are nice. Now, I did ask for a Miami skyline in the background instead of just Miami in the background. And you can definitely see, you know, the glass towers of Miami in the water is, a turquoise, you know, blue green. It's try to put a weak back in on the boat because it is moving along.

Second image similar. Third image similar. This one looks better. There is a little problem with the outline of the object and that kind of stuff to be expected here. Yeah, it's not bad. It's not bad. Not change it to in the ocean with California beaches and mountains in the background.

All right. Oh, that. That looks nice. We definitely have, you know, California looking mountains are very dry. Not a lot of trees on them. Yeah, those are pretty good. Once again, not perfect photo quality, but, definitely not bad. And of course, you know, with AI, these things are gonna get better by the month. It'll just getting, you know, more and more accurate as things move along.

So let's try, something a little different and let's just say,

In a frozen lake on the moons of Jupiter.

All right. It's really hard to tell on this first one, you try to do what we ask you to do, but, you know, it doesn't feel like spacey at all. The next one. Definitely not. Because there's a there's land in the background, that owns a little bit better. You can see other moons in the skyline. Yeah.

So it's trying. It's trying. Let's try one last one. And that is across a bed of lava.

Oh, this looks pretty good, you know. Yeah, you definitely got this feel a lava thing going on. You know, it's not as good as the water ones, but, wouldn't expect it to be, so. It's really trying. Now, these crazy scenarios might be the kind of fun things that you would do for your brand. Right? So you may be doing a blog post or, advertising campaign or a landing page for an event or a holiday, and you want to take your product and incorporate it into a scene for whatever reason.

Right? So you could use this tool to take one of your product photos or lifestyle photo with your product, remove the background and instead put a different background in that matches to what we're talking about for that landing page, that ad campaign, or whatever theme you're going for.

Overall, I'm super impressed with this tool. I had not played with it as much as I have today before, but I have been using it for months quite often because it has been so useful and such a time saver for me without having to open up Photoshop and edit things that way to just have I go in and do the quick little edits that I want, especially

for background removals, has been absolutely a game changer for me. Background removals. But now that I look at it, in taking these more lifestyle photos and putting backgrounds in them where we can do some creative things, I think I'm going to try that some more with my clients and see what happens. Overall, I think every store should look into this tool, understand how it works, and get comfortable in using it.

Because remember, as I said before, this is AI and it is progressing. You know, almost daily, if not every every month or two, it's improving. So the quality of images that we see are only going to get better and better over time. And this is nice because it's a free tool. It's built right into Shopify. So you can go into your product photos, or you can go into your content section and edit your photos within.

There also. So you just take all your existing photos and edit them as you want inside of the admin and reuse them for the new purposes that you want to use them. So hopefully this has given you some insight into what you can do with the AI tools in the Shopify admin. I hope you use them and I hope your photos start looking better.

Thanks for listening.
