Topic: Removing background from images (Page 1 of 1)

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?

I don't think you'll be able to find a magic button that does this. As has been said earlier it depends on the image and every image is unique. If you require high quality results that is. If you don't then there are plenty of magic buttons. Using Photoshop properly takes practice/skill but ultimately it also gives the best results.

If you could show us a couple of your images we might be able to help with tips.

But since you don't have much time maybe you could try something like this: give each service ~20 images, evaluate the results and let the best service do all of them. Someone who does this kind of thing every day will produce much better results than doing it yourself no doubt.
