New to Musein? Start with One Small Project
Choose a template, add references, try one generation, then keep the result and revision notes on the canvas.
For your first session, keep the project small: choose a template, replace its references with your own, generate once and see what needs changing.
Follow four steps: template, canvas, generation and collaboration. Learn that path first, then decide which nodes your project needs.
Pick something you can finish: define one target image, choose a template or open a canvas, keep the inputs and first result, then change just one main issue.
Before you start
| Step | What to complete first | Enough for this step |
|---|---|---|
| Choose a starting point | Template or blank canvas | Know what you are making |
| Organize assets | Place references and notes | Distinguish inputs from outputs |
| Try one generation | Check model, settings and quote | Get a first version to compare |
| Revise and hand off | Record why to keep or change it | Be able to resume here next time |
First project: one clear perfume-bottle image
Practise with one simple target: an amber perfume bottle on stone, light from the upper left and a shadow toward the lower right. First check the bottle's clarity and believable glass. If the shadow is wrong, change the light next—not the bottle, background and composition too. This AI illustration is a target example; the prompt does not guarantee an identical first result.
Start with one perfume product image
Adapt the imported text to your project. This starts with an image composition; the illustration is not attached and generation does not start automatically.
A single cinematic commercial product photograph, landscape 16:9. One unbranded rectangular clear-glass perfume bottle with amber liquid and a black cylindrical cap, centered slightly left on warm beige limestone, a single narrow window-light beam from upper left, graceful long shadow to lower right, minimal dark olive textured background out of focus. Photographic glass refraction, subtle tiny texture, elegant restrained luxury campaign look, cinema still grading and fine grain. No people, no lettering on bottle, no label, no logos, no collage. Beginner tutorial target image: one object, one light, simple background.Choose your starting point
You don't have to begin from a blank page. Start from a workflow template in Musein and adapt it to your project, product or content idea.
In your first canvas, follow the onboarding actions: create nodes, enter content, connect them and organize the canvas. Watch what changes after each action.
Keep inputs, results and revision notes together
Keep references, generated outputs and selected versions on one canvas so the next revision can be compared with the last.
Give assets and outputs clear places so you can trace the inputs and what changed.
Control generation within the workflow
On the canvas, choose a model, adjust parameters and start generation. Before submitting, check the model's supported inputs and your current settings.
Keep the prompt and references. After the result arrives, choose what to change. Fixing one main issue makes before-and-after comparison easier.
Hand off selected versions when collaboration is needed
Invite teammates when you need help. Organize the canvas assets, results and notes first so they know where to continue.
Mark the selected version and unresolved decisions before handing off.
Where to go next
- For a quick start, go to Templates
- To build a workflow directly, go to Workspace
- To begin collaborating, go to Team
Finish one small project first: keep a result, write one sentence explaining why to retain or change it, then begin another pass.
After the first product image, keep the inputs, output and revision reason before deciding on another composition.
