Short answer: Upload a clean product shot and a background scene. Ask Nightjar to place the product naturally with correct scale, perspective, lighting, and contact shadows.

Do it in Nightjar (step‑by‑step)

1. Open Studio → choose Edit Images.
2. Upload:
   • Image 1: your product (clear edges, neutral light)
   • Image 2: the real‑world scene (desk, bathroom, trail, etc.)
3. In Special requests, describe placement: "Place product from image 1 on the wood counter in image 2, back‑left third; realistic contact shadow; slight reflection if surface is glossy."
4. Generate. Review scale, horizon alignment, and shadow direction.
5. Refine: "reduce scale by 8%," "match scene color temperature," "soften reflection."

Tips for realism

• Match camera angle: pick a product image with similar perspective to the scene.
• Keep brand color true: "preserve bottle label colors; adjust environment only."
• For premium mood, combine with Luxury/Premium or Lifestyle/Context styles.

Troubleshooting

• Looks pasted on: "deeper contact shadow; micro‑blur edges 1–2px to match scene."
• Wrong perspective: "tilt product to align with desk plane; correct verticals."
• Color mismatch: "neutral white balance on product; apply warm scene lighting afterwards."
