Lumina Pro / Built by DBAI
Explore the finish before you make the sample.
A product team should be able to compare a finish without commissioning another shoot for every option. DBAI built Lumina Pro to put that exploration in one studio: start with an image, choose a metal finish, and inspect the result against the source.

Illustrative material swatches. AI-generated imagery supports visual exploration; physical samples establish the actual finish.
Make the comparison easier to start.
Physical samples, reshoots and manual retouching make early finish exploration expensive to repeat. Teams need a faster way to compare visual directions before deciding which ones deserve further work.
One source, multiple directions
Explore chrome, brushed steel, gunmetal, gold, rose gold or titanium from the same starting image.
Keep the comparison visible
Put the generated result beside the untouched source so a reviewer can inspect what changed.
Keep the session together
Collect renders and refinishes in a session gallery instead of scattering variants across separate tools.
One image. A finish library. A place to inspect.
Generation, refinishing, inspection and a session gallery share one workflow.
- 01
Generate or upload
Describe an object to generate a base render, or start with an existing product photo.
- 02
Choose the finish
Apply a reusable finish prompt designed to preserve geometry, proportions and lighting while changing the material appearance.
- 03
Inspect the result
Compare the output against the untouched source. The inspection stage makes unintended changes visible alongside the finish.
- 04
Build the gallery
Keep the session’s generated images and refinishes together to compare several directions.
The source stays in view. The finish is open to inspection.
The finish prompts aim to retain the object’s shape and scene lighting. The comparison stage matters because generated images can change more than the intended surface. Review is part of the workflow.
A focused studio with room to change the engine.
The interface is built around the task. An image-generation layer keeps model selection separate from the surrounding studio, while reusable finish prompts give each material direction a consistent starting brief.

A repeatable way to explore the alternatives.
A purpose-built studio that brings product-image generation and finish exploration into one reviewable workflow. The reusable finish library makes the next comparison easier to start; the source view keeps the result open to inspection.
Explore
Generate a new base image or work from an existing product photo.
Compare
Review material directions with the original image still in view.
Repeat
Reuse finish prompts and collect alternatives in the session gallery.
