Retouching  and Photography

These days professional photographers can do a bit of jewelry photo touch up themselves, hiring digital studios to provide photo retouching services is the smarter option.
Jewelry photographs are an important tool in the marketing kit of several professionals be they photographers, jewelry designers, retailers dealing in precious stones and others. In order to showcase jewelry photographs for effective business results, digital photo, image retouching becomes a critical part of your marketing plan. While many in-house photo touch ups are of reasonably good quality, hiring a digital studio for their photo retouching services has its own advantages. So here is why you should choose to get your jewelry photo retouch from a professional studio.

Experts in Retouching

Digital studios have trained digital artists who possess years of experience in an array of photo editing skills. They often specialize in specific types of retouching, like high end fashion and product photo, image retouching and of course, jewelry. Outsourcing your jewelry photo touch up requirements to a digital studio means you capitalize on the expertise of these professionals without having to work through the finer nuances of retouching painstakingly. All you need to do is have a look at their portfolio, identify your image retouching services requirements and communicate these to the studio.
Clipping Path UK is one of the better outsourcing companies who can handle these tasks pretty well. Having it’s headquarters in both US and UK, they created their production site in the Southern part of Asia, that allows them to provide some unbelievably low cost quotations to their clients all over Europe and the US. Of course the quality remains superior since they have a plan of accepting the payment only after completing and delivering the job to their overseas clients. That means the client’s money is never at a risk. There is an issue with many other outsourcing companies when they take the advanced payments and finally results in to some poor service or missing the deadlines to a great extent and later not able to refund the money. In this the case the poor customer has nothing to do. Fortunately Clipping Path UK and some only a few companies are bold and capable enough to take the risk.

The Worth of White Background



The main goal of creating pure white background is to remove any kinds of dullness from any picture.  Also It allows the main content or object to have some more room. There are many ways of creating white background. The most common techniques are Clipping Path and Masking.


Background whitening is done to get rid of any kinds of dullness. A pair of sharp eyes with the help of the best quality display one will be able to pick that white has many shades as grey and many others. Sometimes its needed to brighten the product and a simple background can do the job pretty well. White background is the most desirable because due to this, the object of the image is allowed to have a lot of room for itself. Such a canvas will be the most ideal one for displaying jewelry products. This setting will make the simplest piece of jewelry look more attractive, displaying its shines and colors more than properly. When lots of ‘grey’ areas in the white backdrop appear they could be due to the sources of light around. The eyedropper tool can be used to whiten the areas that look a bit darker. Various levels should be adjusted to get the proper temperament to the frame. The eyedropper tool and the technique of background whitening cannot be used if the color and the background of the image is lighter. But both will work great on pictures with darker tone.

White background can also be enriched with effects. If a pair of air rings is shot against a simple white background, it will appear flat to the viewers. But if it is made elevated by some techniques then it will certainly add some real depth to the whole frame. Just adding a faint shadow under the piece of jewelry can change the scene to a good extent. So on an expert level, Background whitening no longer remains as only making the canvas pure white, but some here and there additions to get the best out of it.


In-fact creating white backgrounds may more necessary than it does sound. If any photographer needs to take a shot against a white wall or canvas, the final result will not appear as the ‘white’ that they want. This is one of the special issues that come to the product photographer who will be shooting against a white canvas. This is due to the imbalance of light on a broad canvas. For this reason, professional photographers and their assistants spend a lot of time behind this, trying their best to get the right white balance done before they start the shoot.  But due to some technical reasons the gray scales shows up. Then it actually comes the time when a photo editor is needed who remove these unwanted gray scales and make the image will look even more appropriate than the original. Thanks to the inventors of tools like Photoshop and many others, by which this can be done. It’s not that hard to achieve these effects. All it needs is some creative knowledge about how the light appears on any object, and a lot of time to spend behind it. If you are a web-shop owner, doing your own photography but you do not have that much time to spare behind furnishing them then you may have to hire professional for them. Hiring photo editors at you r locality (if it is within Europe or US) may sound real costly. Fortunately there are many good outsourcing companies these days who will work over night and furnish your images within a very short time.  Most importantly the cost will be well within your budget. That is why business peoples related with image industries thinks it smarter to let their image editing works be handled by some reliable outsourcing companies. That saves the cost and time to a mentionable extent.
