# Photo Mode

Photo mode generates the catalog preview image and performance stats for every vehicle. The images appear in the vehicle store and exhibition panels.

## 📋 Before You Start

Photo mode uploads images to [FiveManage](https://fivemanage.com/). Set your FiveManage API key in `configs/config.photos.lua` first - see the [Photos config](/paid-resources/rcore_dealership/configuration/photos.md).

{% hint style="danger" %}
The resource ships with a placeholder API key. Replace it with your own before running photo mode, or uploads will fail.
{% endhint %}

## 📸 Running Photo Mode

1. Open the admin tablet with `/dealershipadmin`.
2. Start photo mode. You can shoot a single model for a quick test, or run the full catalog.
3. The script teleports you to a clean backdrop, then loops through vehicle models: it spawns each one, frames the camera by size, captures a screenshot, and reads its stats.
4. Each image is uploaded and its URL is saved in the database.

You can also reset existing photos from the tablet.

{% hint style="info" %}
Vehicles already photographed are skipped, so you can re-run photo mode after adding new vehicles without redoing the whole catalog.
