If you are planning to have your
product photos printed in a magazine, catalog or brochure, your
printing company or graphic designer will probably request that
your photos come with "clipping paths". In the
simplest terms, drawing a clipping path on your product images is
like creating an invisible "cookie cutter" right around
the edges of the product being photographed. It defines the
border between the edges of your products and the white background
behind them.
Clipping paths are very useful
for graphic designers because most publishing software trims
away everything outside the clipping path. That makes it
easy for them to drop the photos of your products against any
background without having to deal with the white background that
fills the photo. It also allows text to wrap right against
the actual product instead of against the border of your
rectangular photo.
If you are only purchasing our
Web Trio package and don't plan to have your photos printed in a
magazine, catalog or brochure, chances are extremely high that
you don't need clipping paths.

| NOTE:
The charge for drawing clipping paths on your products assumes
that the product is a relatively simple shape (e.g. bottles,
clothing, handbags, etc.). If the outside border of your
products is complex (e.g. pearl necklaces) or your products have a
lot of open spaces that allow our camera to see the background
through your product, drawing clipping paths will take a long time
for us to complete, and we may either contact you with a custom
quote for your clipping paths or inform you that we are unable to
draw clipping paths around your products. |
