Why is a varietal change a new Product Shot?

Same bottle, same closure, same label design, different varietal. It looks like a small change, and it is a fair question why Outshinery Studio treats it as a new Product Shot at 1 Shine Credit rather than a 0.5 update.

The short answer is that a varietal is a different product. It gets its own file, its own name in your Content Library, and its own history. Once it exists, every vintage update on it is free, forever. So you pay once for the SKU, and it costs nothing year to year after that.

That is the same rule that makes the rest of the ladder work: a small edit to a label you already have is 0.5 Shine Credit, and a different label design, a different varietal, or a different bottle shape is a new shot. Full ladder: What does a change to an existing image cost?

To order it, use New Product Shot and write "match [existing SKU name]" in the long-answer field. We keep the angle, lighting, and scale identical so the whole line sits together.
