# Multi-Product Scenes
Range shots do a job single-product images can't: they show the family, imply choice, and communicate relative size across variants. They're also the format where generation most reliably invents an extra product.
## The two failure modes
**Invented products.** Ask for "the range of four bottles" and you frequently get five, or four bottles where one is a shape you don't make. The model fills the composition rather than counting.
**Wrong relative scale.** Products generated independently and composited, or generated together without dimension anchors, end up at similar frame-fill regardless of their real sizes. A 30ml and a 200ml bottle rendered the same height actively misinforms.
Both are accuracy failures, not aesthetic ones.
## Composite, don't generate together
The reliable workflow for anything where accuracy matters.
```
1. Photograph or generate each product separately, accurately
2. remove_background per product 2 credits each
3. Composite in an editor at TRUE relative scale
4. replace_background or generate the scene behind 3 credits
5. Add consistent shadows per product
```
**Compositing gives you control over count and scale**, which is exactly what generating them together loses. It costs a few credits more and it's the difference between a range shot you can publish and one that misrepresents your line.
For a purely atmospheric scene where the products are secondary, generating together is acceptable — but count them.
