Can I use AI to combine two different product photos into one group shot?
1 min read
Quick Answer
Yes. A multi-image AI editor lets you reference two product photos at once and merge them into a single coherent scene. In Nightjar, the Edit tab accepts both photos as inputs on a board, lets you reference each one directly in the prompt as
@image1and@image2, and is designed to unify perspective, light direction, and shadow so the items look like they were photographed together.
Why Photoshop makes this tedious
Manual compositing struggles with two things:
- Perspective mismatch: Product A was shot at 45 degrees, Product B at 30. Pasting them together looks off.
- Lighting clash: Product A is lit from the left, Product B from the right. The shadows fight each other.
How to do it in Nightjar
Nightjar's Edit tab is a multi-image board where each input image is addressable. Stored images in Nightjar are called Assets, and each Asset on the board gets an @image1, @image2 handle you can drop into a single plain-English prompt.
- Open the Edit tab and add both product photos to the board.
- In the prompt, reference them directly: "place
@image1next to@image2on a wooden table" (or whatever scene you want). - Set output controls inline with
/ratioand/formatif needed. - Generate.
The model treats both Assets as anchored references and produces a background that fits the pair. Light direction and contact shadows are generated for both objects together rather than carried over from each source shot.
For follow-on edits like cropping for a feed post or switching file format, use Edit Shortcuts (Reframe, Change Format) instead of rewriting the prompt.
This is the standard path for bundle shots, gift sets, and "frequently bought together" imagery without booking a fresh studio session.
