Can anyone please recommend a good photoshopping service, for studio shots of very simple products.

Need ~ 50-100 doing by next week.

Remove background, clipping mask for drop-shadow. Touch up any imperfections etc.

Ready to use for brochure design.

Thanks

I understand what you want, but there might be a better/cheaper way of doing it...

Rather than sourcing the images, supplying them to a designer waiting for the work and then using them in your catalogue, why not just get the images direct and cut all the work out?

Google "product data catalogue" this will provide companies that have feeds of most products sold online and they provide you with a feed of all the images you need and manufacturer descriptions.

I've not checked, but I'd imagine they probably have some introductory free trial which may be enough for you to drag down the 100 or so images you need?

After a quick look I recognise icecat.co.uk as a provider that one of my clients use, I can't say if they're any good or if you can use it for free though.

Just to clarify, they are of specialist products that only we manufacture. We set-up a small studio area to get good quality shots but don't have the time to sort them out at the moment.

It's something I would do as part of the photography process, when I've done it in the past. Usually helps by lighting it as best you can etc.

Agreed, the images are pretty good to start with but could still need another 30 minutes each to tweak.

If they are good quality photos they shouldn't need 30 minutes to retouch. I might be able to help; if interested send a sample to info at blokewithacamera co uk.

Wow, if you're planning 30 mins each, 50-100 images, that's 25-50 hours of work, would get pretty expensive quickly at any sort of hourly rate.

Either way, it's something I could take a look at and quote you on.

A bit O/T but my wife needs some good product shots of the stuff she makes - could the 2 photo guys pm me if it's something you'd be able to give me prices for? Not massive size or quantities as they're dog accessories but high quality so need good pics to stand out on the online stores etc
