What is image clipping?
With cropping, the outer areas of a product photograph are removed to improve the framing, remove the background or individual objects are cut out through the use of photo processing programs (For example: Photoshop).
After clipping, an object can be:
Placed on a black or colored background.
Being positioned on another image (to compose or fix an image).
Remain as cutout object with transparent background.
Why is image cropping useful?
Allows you to insert additional information to that image, such as vector strokes or layer masks to continue working with them later.
How will your business benefit from professionally cropped images?

CONSIDERATIONS
Different degrees of complexity in image cropping
The complexity of the object that needs to be trimmed determines the amount of time the task will take, which can vary from a few minutes to hours.
While large objects and those with simple shapes can be quickly trimmed, removing objects like people or animals with hair structures and other small details will be much more complicated and take much longer.
Despite the different degrees of difficulty, our designers are very experienced and guarantee great results. This is thanks to the many tools modern image editing programs offer to produce professional photo cropping.
Note that when subjects are well contrasted against relatively uniform backgrounds, clipping is done quickly. On the other hand, editing is often complex and requires more time and experience to achieve good results.
OTHER VARIAtions
Clipping paths for post processing
With the stroke tool, the outline of a subject is saved with a vectorized stroke around the object, separating it from surrounding objects.
The traces can also be saved within the file for processing in other programs.
Finishing processes for prints also use defined clipping paths to, for example, emboss or partially coat with UV varnish.
MORE ADVANCED TECHNIQUES
Masking for flexible use of images
To trim delicate structures such as hair, fur, fibers, or fringes, smooth transitions between the background and the subject must be created. At such a level of detail, the alpha channel masking method or various adjustment levels are used to preserve the natural state of these objects.
When photos are masked, only the content of the images of interest is displayed. The rest of the photograph remains invisible. Masks can be adjusted later while the original image remains behind it. In this way, unlike cropping, no information is removed from the image.
