Step by step guide to our Clipping Path services:

1. Clipping Path – This service is maneuvered in Photoshop with the help of a pen tool which can create a vector path of the product or a model on the image. This vector path can be used with any creative backgrounds. ProGraffix offers two types of clipping path services;

• Single path – Here, a single path is created for a single object. The key product or a subject is focused.
• Multiple paths – Here, multiple paths are created. The images that have multiple objects or models that need paths can be made.

2. Drop Shadow – In this service, a shadow is added to object after a background is changed. Any products having shadows look natural, being placed on a terra firma. The product without a shadow looks like it is floating into the air. As per the requirements, any type of shadow can be added like the drop shadow, soft shadow, and mild reflections. The shadows depend on the direction of the light on the product. ProGraffix has this job done keeping every detail of light and its direction in mind.

3. Background removal – This is the service where a background of the subject in an image is removed or changed. At times, the products or models are shot against a disarrayed background or does not go along with the subject. Background removal service steps in to take care of these images. The background removal service follows these steps to make a perfect image. Any of these steps can opted as a separate service.

• Removing and Replacing the background – In this step, the background can be completely removed keeping the image with the subject and a transparent background. Any other suitable or a desired background can be added to this image. Also, the background can be removed and replaced in another background provided.
• Retouching the images – The images which have their backgrounds removed or replaced are retouched with color correction adding depth to them.
• Object removal – In this step, apart from the background, any unwanted object can be removed to make the picture flawless.

4. Image masking – In this service, all the complex objects or model portraits can be removed. The objects that are symmetrical or perfectly angular in shape can be easily cut out from their background using a pen tool. However, in cases such as the images having portraits with frizzy hair or hair blowing in the wind, the cutting out the image with the pen tool is complicated leaving the image with unnatural and obvious portraits. Masking is used instead of a pen tool to create a natural cut. Masking service is not only applicable for hair but also objects with uneven shapes.
