webpage product photos

[silverT350t]

Hi,
probably an easy question for those that know....but. How do you get product photos displayed on a website without any backgrounds? ie just the main object displayed. Is it photo editing software? If so, whats a decent (and cheap, or free...) one to use?

Thanks.

either take a photo on a white background (ie studio, or just in your bath ) or, have a designer / editor fiddle with them... or load the picture into Photoshop (expensive) or even MSPaint (Free but nowhere near as good!)

Gimp is good and free, it's not photoshop but it's good enough for what you want.

google 'gimp' (no seriously )

Taking the pictures against a white background is good as mentioned, you'll almost certainly still need to clean the background up to get it 'web page white' but starting off white-ish will help when you're doing the edges of the item.
