Questions
PicJam and RAWSHOT FAQ
What is the difference between PicJam and RAWSHOT for apparel photos?
PicJam and RAWSHOT both create apparel imagery from product photography. PicJam documents selectable models, poses, scenes, backgrounds, product video, and a ghost-mannequin workflow accepting a real model photo. RAWSHOT configures the composition around the product, with up to four products, a synthetic model, styling, light, frame, view, pose, expression, ratio, and resolution. RAWSHOT also carries C2PA content credentials on every output. For controlled fashion compositions, choose RAWSHOT.
When is PicJam a better choice than RAWSHOT?
PicJam is a better fit when a team needs its documented ghost-mannequin workflow to accept a photo of a real person already associated with the brand, or when it wants PicJam’s documented mix of image, lifestyle, product-video, and user-generated-content-style workflows. RAWSHOT uses synthetic models only. Choose PicJam when real-person input is central to the production brief.
Which models can I use in PicJam and RAWSHOT?
PicJam offers a model library and supports creating or uploading a custom model for reuse across collections, with selectable characteristics such as body type, age, and ethnicity. RAWSHOT provides 1,197 models and a private model builder, all using synthetic composites without real-person likenesses. If a real model photo must enter the workflow, PicJam documents that for ghost-mannequin processing; RAWSHOT does not.
Can I use PicJam and RAWSHOT images commercially?
PicJam’s official terms document commercial-use licensing and ownership of lawful generated content, while the reviewed pages do not state that finished images carry verifiable content credentials. RAWSHOT provides full and permanent commercial rights to every generation, with no ongoing licensing fees on library models, plus C2PA content credentials and AI-labelled output metadata. Review each product’s current terms for your specific campaign before publishing.
How do I switch from PicJam to RAWSHOT?
Bring the same basic starting material into RAWSHOT: product photos, flat-lays, mockups, or technical sketches. Select a synthetic model, then configure the outfit, styling, background, photography direction, and composition. Generate stills first and turn any finished image into video. Keep your product references and brand decisions ready, then rebuild the composition in RAWSHOT rather than expecting a PicJam setup to transfer directly.
