Common Image Manipulations Offered by Providers

Various organizations worldwide are marketing their products online and they give equal importance to marketing and the product itself. Photos of the product should be clear and appealing. Hence, many image manipulation techniques are applied on them.

Since these techniques require meticulousness and hard work, organizations outsource photos of their products to outsourcing companies. 

Outsourcing companies employ graphic designers who edit, correct and touch up photos cost-effectively. 

They can either work on the photos according to the basics of image manipulation or the customer's requirements.

Here are some of the image manipulation techniques used by graphic designers:

Image masking 

This technique is used to cover the parts of a photo that is blurred or damaged. Image masking is performed to mask minuscule details on the photo that intrude the display of the product. Image masking is used to perform such corrections. Image masking is somewhat a pre-production work in different graphics-based production companies. Image masking is essential in various industries including craft, photography, real estate, banners, and flyers. 

Clipping path 

This technique is also called path fixing. As the name implies, clipping path is an image manipulation technique where a vector path is drawn around the product which is then clipped out, leaving the other parts useless. These parts are separated from the background which is either replaced or removed. Clipping path will come in handy for making catalogs, banners, and flyers. 

Image cropping 

In image cropping, the product is cropped from the photo while the remaining parts are negated. Image cropping is performed carefully to avoid compromising the photo's quality. Photos can be re-sized  re-scaled, or cropped according to the customer's specifications. Most graphic designers use Adobe Photoshop to perform image cropping since the software comes with complete image manipulation tools and allows adding special effects to photos.

As evident in the results achieved from photos, these image manipulation providers do enhance photos effectively.
