Layer Composer
Layer and blend images into a single, photorealistic scene. This template teaches the Compositor node by stacking a background, midground, and foreground, auto-removing backgrounds, and finishing with AI relighting, shadows, and reflections.

About This Template
Layer Composer is a hands-on tutorial template that demonstrates end‑to‑end image compositing: import assets, remove backgrounds, position layers, and render a polished final image. How it works - Drop in your background and object images (e.g., a product bottle and mug) - One‑click background removal (alpha preserved) with the built‑in Remove Background subflow - Arrange layers in the Compositor (background, midground, foreground), adjust size, position, rotation, opacity, and order - Send the composed frame to an AI finishing pass to add realistic contact shadows, reflections, and scene‑consistent lighting—without altering the product itself - Export a clean image for ads, hero banners, thumbnails, or mockups What’s inside - Compositor node preconfigured with three example layers (Background, Bottle, Mug) - Bria “Remove Background” subflow to isolate products and keep transparency - Gemini Image finishing pass for photorealistic integration (relighting, shadows, reflections) while respecting the original placement and scale - Non‑destructive, reproducible pipeline you can extend with more layers, different canvases, and brand assets Use cases - E‑commerce product shots, lifestyle mockups, hero sections, and social posts - Rapid creative iteration for marketing visuals without manual masking - Consistent scene integration across multiple product renders Notes - The finishing prompt is set to respect object position and size and to avoid changing the product itself; it focuses on lighting and contact realism - The template outputs a still image (you can adjust canvas width/height and aspect).

Frequently Asked Questions
What does this template do?
It demonstrates a complete compositing workflow: load images, auto‑remove backgrounds, arrange layers (background/midground/foreground), then pass the composite through an AI step that adds shadows, reflections, and lighting so objects sit naturally in the scene.
Which models and tools are used?
Backgrounds are removed via the Bria Remove Background model (alpha preserved). The Compositor node controls layer order and transforms. A Gemini Image finishing pass relights the composite and adds realistic contact effects while respecting object placement and scale.
Can I upload my own layers?
Yes. Replace the example images for Background, Bottle, and Mug, or add more layers in the Compositor. The background‑removal subflow can be reused for any object layer you add.
Will the AI change my product?
No. The finishing pass is configured to keep the product intact and only enhance realism (shadows, reflections, and scene‑consistent lighting).
Does it preserve transparency (alpha)?
Yes. The Remove Background step preserves the alpha channel so your objects composite cleanly. You can also export with transparency if you bypass or adjust the solid background.
How do I control layer order and position?
Use the Compositor node to reorder layers and adjust their position, scale, rotation, opacity, and blend mode. The canvas size and background color are also configurable.
What output sizes and aspect ratios are supported?
You can set custom canvas dimensions in the Compositor. The finishing pass supports square, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, and 3:4, or you can match the composite input.
Do I need to provide masks?
No masks are required. The template includes a background‑removal subflow that generates clean alphas for product layers automatically.
Can I add more objects or scenes?
Yes. Duplicate the Remove Background subflow for new objects, add them as new layers in the Compositor, and rerun the pipeline.
Any tips for more realistic results?
Use high‑resolution source images, keep product perspectives consistent with the background, and fine‑tune object scale and ground contact in the Compositor before running the finishing pass.
Does this template support animation?
This setup is intended for still images. While the Compositor supports FPS and duration fields, the provided flow exports a single image.
What are common use cases?
Creating e‑commerce hero images, ad creatives, catalog shots, lifestyle mockups, and social thumbnails by blending isolated products convincingly into on‑brand backgrounds.
