Title: Removing background from images
Post by: Alex Ross on November 12, 2008, 10:52:11 am

I am finding this too hard, I googled and found some companies that do this sort of thing, has anyone tried them? Is clipping path the same as deepetching. deepetch.com seems to be one good one, I also saw lazymask.com and digital-media-tech.com. Has anyone had any experience with this sort of thing. My catalog has over 300 images of jewelery and jackets with fur fitted on manequins due in two weeks, all shot on a blue studio background. Do I require alpha channel masking? Can anyone help please?

Have you read the replies from the people who were kind enough to respond to your earlier posts? It's somewhat impolite to keep starting new threads.

For this sort of work, the best book by far is Katrin Eismann's Photoshop Masking and Compositing.

I take it you don't want the blue background?????? Is it a different colour background you want???? A possible solution would be to desaturate the background to lessen the impact and possibly change the hue?????
