Make the picture support the product.
Basic image cleanup can remove distractions, improve presentation, create compositions and prepare photos to work better within a website design.
Taking or scanning product photographs has traditionally been the customer's responsibility, while GetYourStoreOnline.com has offered reasonably priced basic image editing when needed.
What is image editing?
A perfectly usable photograph may still have a background that clashes with the website or distracts from the item. Cropping, cutting out a subject, adding an appropriate shadow or making other modest changes can help the item stand on its own.
Why edit an image?
Image editing can give a customer-supplied photo a more polished appearance and help products fit consistently into the design. Cropping can also reduce unnecessary image area and file size, while background removal can make the shape and detail of an item easier to see.
Compositions
Multiple separately photographed items can be combined into one composition when photographing them together is difficult or cannot produce the desired layout. This gives more control over spacing, scale and presentation.
Artistic effects
Effects can also be used to establish a visual theme. Those effects may be appropriate for banners and decorative images even when they would not be suitable for an accurate product photograph.
Sometimes the background should stay.
Editing is a judgment call. A product shown in its natural surroundings may communicate context that is more valuable than a perfectly isolated cutout. The question is whether the surroundings add useful information or distract from the subject.
