What Is Image Editing And Why It Is Important?

Image editing refers to modifying or improving digital or traditional photographic images using different techniques, tools, or software. Images produced by scanners, digital cameras, or other image-capturing devices may be good, but not perfect. Image editing is done to create the best possible look for the images and also to improve the overall quality of the image according to different parameters.

Clipping path :

A clipping path or "deep etch"  is a closed vector path or shape, used to cut out a 2D image in image editing software. Anything inside the path will be included after the clipping path is applied; anything outside the path will be omitted from the output. Applying the clipping path results in a hard (aliased) or soft (anti-aliased) edge, depending on the image editor's capabilities

By convention, the inside of the path is defined by its direction. Reversing the direction of a path reverses what is considered inside or outside. An inclusive path is one where what is visual "inside" the path corresponds to what will be preserved; an exclusive path, of opposite direction, contains what is visually "outside" the path. By convention, a clockwise path that is non-self-intersecting is considered inclusive.

Clipping path services are professional offerings provided by companies for extracting objects or people from still imagery, and typically includes other photo editing and manipulation services. Addressees of such services are primarily photography and graphic design studios, advertising agencies, web designers, as well as lithographers and printing companies. Clipping path service companies commonly reside in developing countries such as Bangladesh, the Philippine, India, Pakistan, and Nepal, which can provide their services at comparatively low cost to developed countries, fostering outsourcing of such activities.

Why Clipping Path Is Important?

If you are an E-commerce retailer then it will be hard to understand for you what actually clipping path is. And before using it is important to know about the clipping path and how it works. You can only utilize something when you know about it completely.

when you need to change the background along with the unwanted objects, if you want to keep an object then it can be done as well. Start with the pen tool to draw blue lines along with the subject. Remember you need to only draw on the outer parts, if you move from out to in then the inner and the outer that is selected will be deleted, so be careful while you using the pen tool. When you are done doing the blue lines, detach the subject, and set it to a new background you need or desire. It is very easy to set on. The background should be something that is not matching or mixing with the subject, always choose something that brings the focus to the subject more. For that, you can use simple plain colors like white, black, gray. These colors are mostly used for E-commerce product background, it attracts the people more. The transparent background can be also used if the subject calls for it. Every decision you make should be taken based on the subject. If the subject needs or calls for something then it should be altered. The real beauty only comes when the subject needs it.

Background Removal :

As I told you previously the clipping path service is used mostly for background removing. This is because often the photographers don’t get time to choose the correct background for the specific product and so the images are clicked on the previous background they settled for past products. When the product and the background match it clashes to a point and that is’ who will take the focus more?’, they keep on battling to catch the attention and mostly the background wins because the backgrounds are either messy or very attractive. This point should be removed while you are working on product photography and by using image clipping services you can easily delete the background and add a new background that doesn’t match with the product. Even it does, it makes the product the subject and helps it to grab the attention.

Neck Join :

This service creates a magical illusion where the dummy vanishes the subject is shown as like an invisible person is wearing it. It really creates an interesting factor. Clipping Path service here is used to join neck meaning attaching the picture in a way that all front and back look the same. You can use Adobe Photoshop here as well to correct the images. Retouching can be also done here. Lightroom can be also used but it does everything automatically which brings a good result.

Whenever you are dealing with E-commerce products, at least once you will need the help of this service. This service helps you to edit one sample image in various colors. If you don’t have the time to click on all the different colored samples then you can use this service to change colors easily. Change in colors brings more options to choose from.
