Removing background from images

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 jewellery 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?

Re: Removing background from images

You don't really remove the background from images, you make it transparent, and pretty much every graphics program should be able to do that.

Re: Removing background from images

She is right... you should be able to either Batch it or automate it with Photoshop to speed it up, especially as the background is always the same.

But we are all hands on people so I doubt anyone here can suggest a company or heard of these. We would just tell you how to do it yourself, but Photoshop help files will explain it to, just look for automate or batch files.

There are a lot of different ways to do this with Photoshop. I'd suggest doing a search for something along the lines of this: "how to remove background from image photoshop" -- it brings up quite a few tutorials. You may also want to search youtube for this, since you'll actually be able to see a video of the process.

Re: Removing background from images

John/shelfimage did a whole very detailed tutorial on it somewhere hidden within this forum. I came accross it a few months back. Remember... the corkscrew...?
