Lumen for product photography at 8K
Most client product photography is shot at 800 to 1200px, which is fine for a detail page and underwhelming for a full-bleed banner. Lumen takes those to print size while recovering the material texture that sells the product.
Lumen adds nothing. Output is built only from detail already in your file, so the result stays true to what you uploaded. More about Lumen
Why Lumen for product photography
- Recovers fabric weave, brushed metal and grain that lighter models smooth away.
- Reaches 8x for large-format and exhibition print.
- Adds nothing, so the product in the image is still the product.
Workflow
- 1Shoot or export at the largest size available.
- 2Upload to UpRes and pick Lumen.
- 3Choose 8x for print, 4x for a web hero.
- 4Check the label typography. If it matters more than the texture, use Prism instead.
Honest caveat
For packaging where typography and barcodes carry the meaning, Prism is the better pick and costs less.
