What is image clipping?
Image clipping is a long and complicated process by which elements are removed or modified to highlight the central theme/desired portions of the image from the background. The background of the image is also changed to suit the needs of the website and that would help the image to be at its glorious best.
Image clipping is done keeping in mind a variety of elements. Seldom is a photographer blessed with the perfect lighting, background, angle, contrast which increases an image`s ability to leave a lasting impression on first glance. This is the age when the websites have as little as five seconds if not lesser to attract the user`s attention. Any image taken by a photographer might not have the same color combination that might go well with the overall color scheme. Image clipping ensures that all these areas are worked on to bring out the essence of the image to the forefront.
Image clipping services isolate a wide range of images based on the purpose of the image/use of the image. If it is a real estate image, the primary concern is to bring out the sharp contrasts with the building/house as the primary target. One should then work outwards and make the image blend with the natural settings.
If the target is advertising the aim is to make the product/model the king of the image. If it is the product/a bottle of shampoo or a piece of jewelry, one should work on highlighting the image by maximizing the focus on the product with the rest serving as a contrast that brings out the best in the image. If it is a model/human figure the work would largely be on the minute details of the image. This can be done by ensuring there is not even a pixel on the image that does not leave a lasting impression on the viewer.
On the other hand, if it is a landscape where there is some area that is not bright enough we work on that area to blend with the entire image. Whatever let the image be, the technician should be able to work on the image and make sure your image can express the story that way you wanted it to be conveyed.
Why outsource image clipping?
For the smooth functioning of any company, it needs to be equipped with specialized teams working on all the small aspects which make the final product perfect on all counts. Rarely can there be a company, a firm or an agency which can boast to be best at all fields. Outsourcing plays a very important role as these agencies specialize in one particular aspect and will be able to deliver the best quality on that one particular aspect.
Though there are online tools which can be used to modify an image, these tools can never replace or compete with humans. At best these tools can be employed to aid in image clipping. Anyone can try out these tools, but the expertise and perfection that only experience can bring to the table is where and how outsourcing comes in to the picture.
