Technical Details
Real Transparency
Our Auto Alpha software uses multiple images to cut out complex products like scarves with fringes, lace lingerie or fur coats. Cutting these out manually not only takes forever, in some cases it's just impossible.
Auto Alpha does it in seconds without breaking a sweat.
The result is full alpha transparency, not just a white background.
No clipping paths, outlines or masks to fiddle with.
Alpha transparency means you can make collages of your photos for lookbooks and easily add effects like drop shadows and backgrounds.
Overlays
Set any image to be shown 50% transparent on top of Live View. Keep your styling consistent and straight.
- Make as many Overlays as you want.
- Create new Overlays from you own pictures.
- Preloaded 4x6 Grid.
Barcode scanning
Scan barcodes using the built in camera on the iPad, saving time and typos.
- International linear barcode standards.
- Price tags.
- Barcode sheets printed from your inventory system.
Export Presets
StyleShoots can export your photos in many dimensions, file types and qualities. Ready for web, lookbooks and catalogues.
Default formats
- Full resolution PNG file with real Alpha Transparency.
- Original JPEG straight from camera.
Custom Presets
- Image background.
- Solid color background.
- Drop shadow.
- Different compression qualities.
- Custom dimensions. Fixed or cropped to fit.

Once set up, your shots are exported in all formats every single time, automatically.
Options
Zoom
Sometimes you just want to gaze at a special stitching or amazing print. Or maybe you photograph children's clothing or other small products.
For those occasions, the motorized Zoom is what you need. We believe the only real way of zooming is optically. So we custom built a sturdy fixture that grips the high-end lens, and physically moves it to the focal length you want.
Just tap the plus and minus buttons on the iPad and watch the lens move at your command.
Canopy
Our customers love to place StyleShoots in the center of action. Be it in a buzzing office environment, the logistics center, or a dedicated photo studio, StyleShoots fits right in.
To avoid reflections from overhead lights and bright ceilings, the Canopy is mounted right on top of StyleShoots, creating a shielded environment for proper control over product lighting.
Handmade out of special light-blocking fabric, this is an extraordinary Canopy for an extraordinary photo studio.

Grids can help you position products straight, while you are in LiveView. For instance, make sure both sleeves of a pullover have the same distance from the body, and same length.Tech tour
StyleShoots uses four daylight simulation lamps to give you great images, and comfortable working conditions. A Canon EOS 5D with a "red ring" lens makes sure the photo quality is as good as it gets. Embedded electronics and a Mac Mini with custom algorithms and software control the camera, backlight and external storage.White balance magic
Setting the correct White Balance is very easy. Just place a gray card on the table, wait a bit, and everything will be set automatically. The intensity of the LED backlight is also calculated. Lens vignetting is measured and compensated for as well.iPad app walkthrough
