Irrespective of recent advances brought by digital photography, image rendering, graphic arts and printing, there are certain areas where the technology fails to create the exact facsimile as seen by human eyes. The difference lies in the way human eyes see the real thing (in 3D) versus the photo or image (in 2D). Take for example an intricate piece of jewelry; no technology can render its image as perfectly as the real jewelry seen by the eyes.
How a photograph looks on paper or a computer screen often depends on:
- The subject
- Equipment, technique and photographer’s imagination
- Background, lighting, composition, resolution, colors and contrast
Often the result is not as satisfactory as perceived. This results in images with out of focus subject, blurred effect and incorrect colors and contrast. For a perfect picture, there should be an ideal combination of all the above aspects. This is more important for images of jewelry, ornaments, broaches, hair, diamonds and other such articles where the precision detail is necessary.
If the technology has its limitations, human ingenuity has the ability to create many possibilities to lessen those limitations. There are certain software tools to make the images more pleasing, for example tools for image outlining, masking, cropping, etc.
Image Clipping Path is one of such tools that can make your images more prominent. The technique uses the handcrafted Bezier curve in Photoshop to clip the path and eliminate the background to make the image stand out. Following is an illustrative example.
Innovative Imaging Professionals provides affordable Image Clipping Path services to professional and industrial photographers, publishers, printers, ad agencies, studios, DTP, graphic designers, jewelers and catalog companies.
