# Image models in detail

Each sheet covers a market image model available in Seelab: what it does best, its limits, its settings and its cost. All sample images were generated with the same prompt, so you can compare the results.

> Premium e-commerce visual for a skincare brand. An amber glass serum bottle with a black dropper, standing on a travertine block. Plain warm beige background, soft foliage shadow cast on the wall. Natural morning light coming from the left, crisp reflections on the glass. Tight shot, 50 mm lens, shallow depth of field. The white label reads “LUMEN” in black capital letters.

| The exact cost is always shown before you launch: it depends on the resolution, the quality and the reference images.

For a visual that stays true to your product, use your Seelab model. See [Which image model to choose?](https://help.seelab.ai/en/article/selecting-the-right-model-1ryx182/)
