Backdrop

Pick one of 40 studio backdrops, from white seamless paper and gradients to brick walls, velvet drapes and chroma green, and Nodaro adds it to your prompt.

The Backdrop picker sets the studio background behind the subject. You choose one backdrop from its catalog, such as white seamless paper, a sunset gradient, a brick wall or a velvet drape. Nodaro adds a tested description of that backdrop to the prompt of every node you connect it to. The picker never calls a model, so it costs no credits.

When to use it

  • Product photography on White Seamless or Black Seamless.
  • Editorial portraits on Muslin or a gradient.
  • Fashion campaigns on a bold color, such as Royal Blue or Mustard Yellow.
  • A background you replace later: Chroma Green or Chroma Blue.

How to use it

Add the picker

Open the node picker and choose Creative Controls › Scene › Backdrop.

Choose a backdrop

Select the node and choose a backdrop in the settings panel. The tiles are grouped by kind, and each tile shows a small swatch of the backdrop's color, gradient or texture.

Connect it

Drag from the picker's output to the Look input of a Generate Image or Generate Video node. You can also connect it to a Text or Prompt node to include the wording in a longer text.

Run the image or video node

The backdrop's wording is added to the end of the prompt when the connected node runs.

Settings

SettingWhat it does
BackdropThe backdrop to add. The default is White Seamless.
Custom text (before)Your own words, added before the backdrop's wording.
Custom text (after)Your own words, added after the backdrop's wording.
Prompt hintFull describes the backdrop and how it is lit. Compact adds only the short term. See Creative Controls.

To see the exact words the picker will add, switch the node to the Prompt or Both display mode. The settings panel shows the same text under Will inject into prompt.

For example, White Seamless adds this text in Full mode:

against a clean white seamless studio backdrop, evenly lit with soft diffused fill and no environmental detail beyond the subject

In Compact mode, it adds only white seamless backdrop.

Every backdrop

The catalog has 6 groups: Solid / Seamless, Gradient, Textured, Fabric / Drape, Effect / Lighting and Reflective. Search it or filter it by group. The words under each name are the term the picker adds in Compact mode.

Backdrop or Setting

Use Backdrop for a studio shot: the subject stands in front of a surface, with no real place around it. Use Setting when the subject is somewhere, such as a kitchen, a street or a forest.

Tips

  • Light the studio. Pair the picker with Lighting, for example High-Key on white or Low-Key on black.
  • Add a floor. The Reflective group has Mirror Floor and Polished Floor, which add a reflection under a product.
  • Adjust the look. Use Custom text (before), for example softly lit, or Custom text (after), for example with subtle vignette.
