Disclosed are various embodiments for performing automated color authoring for images of items having multiple color variations. A photographically captured source image of an item is obtained. The source image corresponds to one color variation of the item. A selection mask defining the item in the source image is obtained. A target image of the item corresponding to another color variation is generated by automatically transforming the item defined by the selection mask in the source image to the other color variation based at least in part on data obtained from multiple previous manual color variation transformations for multiple other items.

Automated color authoring

Disclosed are various embodiments of a studio arrangement and a method of capturing images and/or video. One embodiment of the disclosure includes a front light source aimed at a background, an image capture position located between the background and the front light source, an elevated platform positioned between the image capture position and the background, and at least one rear light source positioned between the elevated platform and the background. A subject can be photographed and/or filmed on the elevated platform to achieve a desired effect of a substantially seamless background where a rear edge of the elevated platform is imperceptible to an image capture device positioned at the image capture position.
