Shadow quality in API via Zapier vs. PhotoRoom app

API General Questions
1

Hello,
I’ve just completed the full integration of your API via Zapier (white background, 3% margin, centering, background removal, etc.) and everything is working well.

However, I’m facing an important issue:
There’s no option to enable the same light and shadow management as in the PhotoRoom app. The shadow generated via the API (even with shadow.mode: ai.hard) looks much worse compared to the natural and soft shadow available in the app.

:backhand_index_pointing_right: Is it possible to get the same shadow rendering via Zapier or the API? Or is there an advanced option to enable this?

Thanks in advance for your help!
Laurent

Hi there!

Could you provide the example of the ‘desired’ output version, and the ‘not desired’ output version so we can see both for context?

Here is the documentation for AI shadows in the meantime while we review: AI Shadows | Photoroom API Documentation

Best,
