Products: retouching and cutting out product photos

From super simple to highly complex. Product images are part of the Fotowerker portfolio.

Product photos that convince in the shop and the catalogue

A product image has to show the item as it is: clean, with crisp edges and an even background. In practice, dust, fingerprints, reflections or an uneven backdrop get in the way.

Fotowerker edits product images from super simple to highly complex.

Typical tasks

This is what photographers and companies often have edited in this area. Not what you need? Ask us, we can do much more than is listed.

Cutting out products, including those with spokes, mesh or transparent parts
Creating a white or uniform background
Removing dust, scratches and fingerprints
Matching colours so that products in a series fit together
Adding or correcting shadows and reflections
Combining several shots into one image
Editing image series for catalogues and online shops consistently

Who it is for

Photographers with product commissions, online shops, manufacturers, retailers and agencies that design catalogues or promotional materials. If you regularly photograph many products, you can hand off the post-processing.

How an order works

You describe your goal
For example: white background, shadow yes or no, use in the shop or in print.
The effort is calculated
A simple object is done quickly, while a shiny or finely structured product takes more work. The price follows the effort.
Implementation by the production team
You receive the images exactly as you described them.

Prices

The range runs from super simple to highly complex, and the price follows that range. We do not have a standard price list but calculate the price exactly based on effort. This way every customer only pays what is necessary. More under Prices.

Frequently asked questions about products

What does “from super simple to highly complex” mean?

A clean object in front of a clear background is cut out quickly. Reflective surfaces, mesh or many individual parts take considerably more work. Fotowerker handles both.

Can I hand over product images in large numbers?

Yes, ask us and tell us the number of images. The price depends on the effort for your series.

What should I look out for when photographing?

Tips can be found in the guide under Product photos for retouching.
