Revolutionize Retail with AI-Driven Product Image Management System

In the fast-paced and highly competitive retail landscape, the quality of product information can significantly impact a brand’s success. Among the various aspects of product information management (PIM), product images play a crucial role in influencing purchasing decisions. In this article, we will explore how AI-driven Product Image Management Systems are revolutionizing the retail industry, enhancing PIM data quality, and driving business growth.

The Importance of Product Image Quality in Retail

Product images are often the first interaction a customer has with a product online. High-quality images not only attract potential buyers but also convey trust and credibility. In a world where e-commerce is thriving, having clear, accurate, and well-managed product images is essential. Poor image quality or misalignment with product descriptions can lead to customer dissatisfaction, increased return rates, and ultimately, loss of revenue.

The Challenge: Maintaining High PIM Data Quality

Maintaining high data quality in PIM systems is a challenge for many retailers. Inconsistent or outdated product information, including images, can result in errors that affect the customer experience. Traditional methods of managing product images often involve manual processes, which are time-consuming, prone to human error, and inefficient at scale. This is where AI-driven solutions come into play.

How AI-Driven Product Image Management Systems Work

AI-driven Product Image Management Systems leverage advanced technologies such as machine learning, computer vision, and natural language processing to automate and optimize the process of managing product images. These systems can analyze, categorize, and tag images with incredible accuracy, ensuring that the right images are associated with the correct products in the PIM system.

Key Features of AI-Driven Systems:

Automated Image Tagging and Categorization: AI algorithms can automatically analyze product images, identifying key attributes such as color, size, and shape, and then tagging these images with relevant metadata. This reduces the need for manual tagging, which is often inconsistent and error-prone.

Image Quality Enhancement: AI can automatically detect and correct image quality issues such as low resolution, poor lighting, and incorrect color balance. This ensures that all product images meet the high standards required for online retail.

Consistency Across Channels: AI-driven systems can ensure that product images are consistent across all sales channels, from e-commerce websites to mobile apps and social media platforms. This uniformity enhances brand recognition and trust.

Real-Time Updates: With AI, product images can be updated in real-time across all platforms as soon as changes are made in the PIM system. This is particularly useful for retailers with large catalogs and frequent product updates.

Real-World Applications and Success Stories

Several retailers have successfully implemented AI-driven Product Image Management Systems, resulting in significant improvements in PIM data quality and overall business performance.

Example 1: Zalando

Zalando, a leading European e-commerce company, integrated AI into their PIM system to manage their vast collection of fashion products. By automating the tagging and categorization of product images, Zalando reduced manual efforts by 75% and improved the accuracy of product listings. This led to a 30% increase in customer satisfaction and a 20% reduction in return rates.

Example 2: Amazon

Amazon, a pioneer in e-commerce, uses AI-driven systems to manage millions of product images across its platform. By leveraging machine learning algorithms, Amazon ensures that all product images meet strict quality standards, leading to a more consistent and trustworthy shopping experience. This has been a key factor in Amazon’s continued dominance in the online retail space.

The Impact on PIM Data Quality

AI-driven Product Image Management Systems significantly enhance PIM data quality by ensuring that product images are accurate, consistent, and high-quality. This, in turn, improves the overall customer experience, leading to higher conversion rates, reduced return rates, and increased customer loyalty.

Benefits of Improved PIM Data Quality:

Enhanced Customer Trust: Accurate and high-quality product images build trust with customers, making them more likely to complete a purchase.

Reduced Operational Costs: Automating image management processes reduces the need for manual labor, cutting down on operational costs.

Faster Time-to-Market: With AI-driven systems, product images can be processed and uploaded faster, allowing retailers to get products to market more quickly.

Data-Driven Insights: The Future of AI-Driven Product Image Management

The future of AI-driven Product Image Management Systems looks promising, with continuous advancements in AI technology. As these systems become more sophisticated, we can expect even greater improvements in PIM data quality. Retailers that embrace AI-driven solutions will be better positioned to meet the demands of the modern consumer, who expects nothing less than perfection in their online shopping experience.

According to a recent report by McKinsey, companies that invest in AI-driven PIM solutions see a 15-20% increase in online sales and a 30% reduction in product returns. These statistics highlight the tangible benefits of adopting AI in product image management and underscore the importance of staying ahead of the curve in the competitive retail landscape.

Conclusion

AI-driven Product Image Management Systems are revolutionizing the way retailers manage and present their products online. By enhancing PIM data quality through automation and optimization, these systems not only improve the customer experience but also drive significant business growth. Retailers who invest in AI-driven solutions today will be the ones leading the market tomorrow, setting new standards for excellence in the industry.

In a world where the quality of product information can make or break a sale, AI-driven Product Image Management is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity.

TOPAZ AI TUTORIAL

i was asked to do a tutorial for Topaz AI (a software that enhances screencaps), so here it is! :)

[tutorial under the cut]

i’m going to gif a 720p YouTube video from 12 years ago as an example. it’s the bottom of the barrel when it comes to image quality, but in the end, you won’t believe it was once so shitty. here’s the gif, without any editing:

THE APPLICATION

Topaz AI is a paid software for image enhancement. you can download it for free, but your images will have watermarks. here's a random link that has nothing to do with this tutorial.

you can use Topaz AI as a Photoshop plugin or use the software separately. i will explain both methods in this tutorial.

USING SEPARATELY

it’s the way i do it because it’s more computer-friendly, the plugin can take a toll on your PC, especially when you’re dealing with a lot of screencaps. 

you first take screencaps as you normally would (if you don’t, here’s a tutorial on how to do it). open Topaz AI and select all the images. wait a while for the software to do its thing.

on the left, there is your screencap untouched. on the right, is your edited version. if you click the edited screencap and hold, Topaz will show you the original, that way you can compare the versions even better than just looking at them side by side.

Topaz AI will automatically recognize faces, if any, and enhance them. this can be toggled off, by disabling the “recovering faces” option in the right panel. it’s always on for me, though. you can tweak this feature by clicking on its name, the same thing for the others.

Topaz AI will also automatically upscale your screencaps if they’re too small (less than 4k). it will upscale them to achieve said 4k (in this gif’s case, the original 1280x720 screencaps became 4621x2599). i suggest that you let the app upscale those images, giving you more gif size flexibility. you can change into whatever size you want if you want something less heavy to store. don’t worry though, even these “4k screencaps” are very light megabytes-wise, so you won’t need a supercomputer. it might take a while to render all your screencaps, though, if you’re on a lower-end computer. (the folder with the edited screencaps ended up being 1GB, but that’s because it contains 123 screencaps, which is a lot of screencaps for 4k giffing).

two options won’t be automatically selected, Remove Noise and Sharpening, you will need to enable them to use them. rarely i don’t use Remove Noise, as is the best tool to remove pixelization. the Sharpening option depends on the gif, sometimes your gif will end up too over-sharpened (because of Topaz’s sharpening and later your own). that said, i used the Sharpening option on this gif.

next, select all images by clicking the “select all” button. you will notice that one of the screencaps’s thumbnails (in my case, the first one) will have small icons the others don’t have. this is the screencap you enhanced. you will need to click the dots menu, select “apply”, and then click “apply current settings to selected images”. this way, every screencap will have the same settings. if you don’t do this step, you will end up with one edited screencap and the rest will remain untouched!

all things done, click “save X images”. in the next panel, you can select where to save your new screencaps and how you want to name them. i always choose to add a topaz- prefix so i know what files i’m dealing with while giffing.

just a note: if your way of uploading screencaps to Photoshop is through image sequence, you will need to change the names of your new screencaps so PS can perceive that as a sequence (screencap1, screencap2, etc). you can do that by selecting all the screencaps in your folder, then selecting to rename just one of them and the rest will receive numbers at the end, from first to last. you don’t need to rename them one by one.

here’s the first gif again, without any editing:

without Topaz enhancement but with sharpening:

without sharpening, only the Topaz enhancement:

with Topaz enhancement and sharpening:

her skin is so smooth that it is a bit unrealistic. i could have edited that while tweaking the “Recovering Faces” option and/or the “Remove Noise” option, but i prefer to add noise (filter > noise > add noise) when necessary. this way, i don’t risk not enhancing the quality of the screencaps enough.

i added +3 of noise, making the gif look more natural. it’s a subtle difference, but i thought it necessary one in this case. you can continue to edit your gif as your heart desires.

VOILA! 🥳

AS A PHOTOSHOP PLUGIN

if you have Topaz AI installed on your computer, Photoshop will recognize it. you will find it in filter > Topaz Labs > Topaz AI. while in timeline mode, select the filter. the same Topaz AI window will pop up and you can tweak things the same way you do when you use the software separately. by using the plugin, you don’t need to upload your edited screencaps or use screencaps at all, a video clip (turned into a Smart Layer, that is) will suffice. the downside is that for every little thing you do, Topaz AI will recalculate stuff, so you practically can’t do anything without facing a waiting screen. a solution for that is to edit your gif in shitty quality as you would edit an HD one and at the very end, you enable Topaz AI. or just separately edit the screencaps following the first method.

this is it! it's a very simple software to use. the only downside is that it can take a while to render all screencaps, even with a stronger computer, but nothing too ridiculous.

any questions, feel free to contact me! :)

Wanted to make this comic panel my phone background but couldn’t find a high enough quality image, so I used an ai enhancer to bring it up.

THIS is what ai should be used for 😤😤😤

I'm sorry that the characters looks so weird, the the template was so low-quality that the quality whole image was 180p if not lower, so I used the AI enhancer bc the original was unpostable. I absolutely hate how it makes the characters look but I needed to post and I'd just spent longer than I'd like to admit on this sooo

[the-astral-express-archive]

Hey, so I'm pretty sure the cat standee upscales were upscaled with AI. I noticed it because I was using the Luocha one as a phone background, and as an artist, things looked very, very off. I really do suggest you take those down and find a different upscaled version because not only is the use of AI pretty icky, but the images are no longer accurate due to this.

Hello, AI-enhanced images are still accepted in this blog, you can find the notice post here.

Personally I don't think using AI to upscale existing images to improve them by enhancing their size and line quality is the same as using AI to generate new images from scratch (which causes real damage to the art community). I also double checked before posting by comparing the upscaled images with the original version to ensure the upscaled ones don't look too off, and if they do, I wouldn't post them at all. I hope you understand.

[genericpuff]

I followed artsangel since her previous comic immaterial. I have to say she IS talented and has the skills. But her style is verrrrry time consuming and she would only update every 2 weeks. I used to study her art a lot because I was always impressed by it, and Im fairly certain it did not look like like that when it was on canvas. I used to see her progresses on her stories and she uses a lot of assets and predrawn faces to keep her consistent pixar look. The faces were less uncanny and more expressive. Now the eyes are all wonky and displaced.

I think she may have used ai to polish her panels. Perhaps the workload proved too much, or maybe she was feeling insecure. I was concerned when she got picked up by webtoon because I could tell it would be difficult for her to keep up the schedule. Ai is super powerful but its not powerful enough to make a COMIC, not even consistently. She probably using it as an enhancer to her already great skills. A shame though, she doesn’t need it.

Also I think the reason her preproduction period was so quick is because she was highly prepared before launch. She already has multiple comics under her belt and webtoon probably didn’t need to change much. Im sure she just reused her canvas comic for her reboot and built a buffer in the meantime.

Having to meet deadlines can definitely be a reason but not an excuse IMO.

One creator I can think of who has a similar style (albeit in black and grey) is figmentforms, creator of A Tale of Two Rulers.

Updates are slow, she posts maybe a new page once a month, the art is gorgeous but it's clear it takes her time. It's a free to read comic. It's worth the wait.

That said, if she wanted to make her updates more frequent, I wouldn't blame her at all for utilizing new tools and methods to do so - but it wouldn't justify her in using AI tools that are stealing other people's art.

There are loads of shortcuts that artists already use that are fine because they're still genuinely handcrafted. 3D models, overlay textures, blur effects, etc. are all tools that artists use to help speed up the drawing process and were made by hand.

And beyond that, the need to make the process more efficient isn't a crime, but it's in how you do it. You can use these tools irresponsibly or at the cost of your own comic's quality. Case in point, Lore Olympus and Let's Play, which are both godawful in how they implement 3D backgrounds and stock images:

Creating comics is finding a balance between efficiency and quality, not sacrificing one for the other and using it as justification to avoid criticism for that sacrifice.

If Sarah Ellerton was using AI based on her own art and being honest about it, I don't think anyone would be nearly as upset. It might prompt a debate over what's ethical in the world of comics - whether or not it's right for consumers to pay for a product that's being churned out of an AI prompt - but at least it wouldn't be theft and it would probably just be there as an aid to an artist who's been doing this for 20 years and had to find a way to make the process more efficient. I think AI can be used as a productive tool if it's implemented responsibly and without being at the cost of another artist's work.

The issue is that 1.) Sarah is being VERY suspicious over the whole thing which leads us to believe that she's NOT using ethical AI assistance, and 2.) there's a VERY clear distinction near the end of her previous comic, Immaterial, where you can basically tell when she adopted AI. The main character Alex, for example, literally became a whole other person.

This is a common problem for AI coloring prompts, a LOT of them are bad at rendering darker skin tones (I think I mentioned this in my last post, but I literally got to playtest AI coloring tools from WT's a couple years ago, and they could NOT figure out darker skin tones, any dark colors that were put down were assumed to be shadows so characters just looked like white characters with the curtains pulled over their face).

She just looks like a SamDoesArts poster girl now. Everything unique about her has been stripped away and you can see this transition in the final page of Immaterial and the first episode of Quantum Entanglement:

None of it feels like organically her, it feels like a cheap machine reproduction.

I don't doubt that this person has evolved a lot as an artist or that her older work was genuinely her, she's clearly got a lot of skill that only someone who's been drawing comics for years would gain.

But it's clear somewhere along the way she succumbed to insecurity or stopped caring enough to start using AI to do the heavy lifting. I mean honestly, her work from before was fine! So I don't see why she would be using it for 'polishing', there are so many ugly ass webtoons on the platform so even the art from Immaterial - even if she had to simplify it a bit more to make it easier to meet deadlines - would likely be a refreshing change of pace.

But the way she's utilized AI here, I was quicker to assume Sam Yang drew Quantum Entanglement when I first saw it.

And it is a shame, because, as you said, she doesn't need it. Her art is perfectly capable on its own and while I can understand her need to make the process more efficient, there are better ways to do that than using AI that's clearly ripping off other artists and then lying about it. It's a shame she'd put her reputation on the line as a seasoned artist just to meet Webtoons' stupid deadlines. Like, how can it be worth it?
