Q: What files do you need to create Bottle Shots and Lifestyle Images?

The files we need is are your label artwork, but here's a bit about the process, which takes about 5 minutes at your computer: You will complete a short yet detailed questionnaire about your product. You'll indicate elements such as your specific bottle shape, the color of the glass, the color of the liquid, and the type of closure you’re using. Then, you’ll be prompted to upload your label artwork — the same files you sent to your printer for production. But you will need to share electronic files of your label artwork, the same material you provide to your printer (or layered .ai and .pdf files) so you should have everything we need on hand already. In order to get flawless and accurate images, you will need to share the files as specified during the ordering process. If you have custom artwork on the cork, screwcap, or capsule, you’ll need to send over those files too. The higher quality of the files, the better the finished results will be for you. The process to share the files with Outshinery is super quick and done completely online too. No physical samples needed. You'll get proofs to approve before receiving the final deal: high-resolution images you can use anywhere. <img src="https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/5e711d919c4e8400/6819ff19-cfd0-4a04-a355-ddbc84_1inas02.gif" alt="" /> <hr /> <img src="https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/f96d8bf829047800/78694cb8-cd08-417f-9173-862f17_1kxhnjy.png" alt="" /> ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/websit

Question 1

How do I start?

Accepted Answer

There are a few steps to getting started with Outshinery. Basically, these are parts that work together:

Set up your Studio account
Purchase a Subscription that works for you
Order Bottle Shots via a questionnaire in Outshinery Studio
Browse and order Lifestyle Images and other assets via the Outshinery Market, also linked in Studio

Here's the breakdown:

When you are ready to go, you'll set up your Outshinery Studio account by clicking Create My Account.
You'll get an email to confirm your account and link yourself to your organization.
Then you'll be able to choose your preferred Subscription or pack and add the appropriate billing information.
After that, you'll find a link within your Studio dashboard to order Bottle Shots via an interactive questionnaire. We can also set up extra links for you to order multiple SKUs at once.
Since this process is all online, it’s efficient and fast. And you won’t need to send us physical samples to get it done.
Please note that a Bottle Shot is first necessary for any SKU for which you'd like to order a Lifestyle Image or other asset. Think of the Bottle Shot like the movie star that must be cast before the show can be made.

Question 2

What are Shine Credits?

Shine Credits are basically an internal currency at Outshinery. You can use them to redeem every type of imagery we offer. We've got a quick explanation for you in this super short video.

Think of it like when you visit a theme park: You buy a set number of tickets at the door, then use those tickets on your favorite rides.

You can buy Shine Credits in bulk to enjoy a better rate, and redeem them to get the imagery that best suits your needs. Visit our pricing page for more information.

Question 6

How can I use my Outshinery images and videos?

Accepted Answer

There once was a little girl that got her brand's images from Outshinery.

What should I do with these? she thought.

Everywhere she looked there were new opportunities.

Gosh, these things are versatile! she thought.

She put them on her website (and more people bought her drinks DtC than ever!).

She used them on her ecommerce platform.

Social media was waaaay more fun with the fresh photos to use, something for every season.

Instagram Stories. Rocked it.

When that journalist called to talk about her work, she zapped over the bottle images to help tell the story.

Her distributor loves her, BTW, because these little images made shelf-talkers easy breezy.

Tasting notes. Tech sheets. New releases… these images worked everywhere.

Wine club members loved seeing the products on their materials, [so beautiful they stuck them to the fridge](https
