Techniques
Techniques Photophile NHC used in E-commerce

1. Clipping Path

  • Purpose: To isolate the product from its background.
  • Process: Using tools like the Pen Tool in Adobe Photoshop, a precise path is drawn around the product to separate it from the background. This allows for a clean, distraction-free presentation.

2. Background Removal and Replacement

  • Purpose: To provide a consistent and clean background, usually white or transparent, which helps in focusing on the product.
  • Process: Once the clipping path is created, the background can be removed and replaced with a solid color or another desired background that aligns with the brand’s aesthetics.

3. Color Correction and Enhancement

  • Purpose: To ensure that the product colors are true to life and consistent across all images.
  • Process: Adjustments are made to the image’s brightness, contrast, saturation, and hue to match the actual product colors. This can involve both manual adjustments and the use of software tools.

4. Shadow Creation

  • Purpose: To add depth and dimension to product images, making them appear more realistic.
  • Types:
    • Natural Shadow: Enhancing the existing shadow.
    • Drop Shadow: Adding a shadow effect to give the product a floating appearance.
    • Reflection Shadow: Creating a mirror-like reflection below the product.

5. Retouching and Cleaning

  • Purpose: To remove any imperfections such as dust, scratches, or blemishes from the product image.
  • Process: Using tools like the Healing Brush, Clone Stamp, and Spot Removal in Photoshop, these imperfections are meticulously removed to present a flawless product.

6. Image Resizing and Cropping

  • Purpose: To ensure that images meet specific size and aspect ratio requirements for different e-commerce platforms.
  • Process: Images are resized to fit the platform’s guidelines, and unnecessary parts of the image are cropped out to focus on the product.

7. Alignment and Centering

  • Purpose: To ensure that the product is properly centered and aligned within the frame for a balanced look.
  • Process: Using grid lines and alignment tools in image editing software, the product is adjusted to sit perfectly within the image frame.

8. Background Smoothing

  • Purpose: To eliminate any wrinkles, textures, or distractions in the background, providing a smooth and consistent backdrop.
  • Process: Techniques like Gaussian Blur or selective editing tools are used to smooth out the background.

9. Image Stitching

  • Purpose: To create a single, cohesive image from multiple shots, often used for products that are too large to capture in one frame.
  • Process: Multiple images are combined using stitching software or manual techniques in Photoshop to create a seamless final image.

How it works

How Photophile NHC works

01 . Receive Images

The post-production team receives the raw image files via Dropbox, utilizing the company's shared Dropbox link for seamless transfer. Upon receipt, the team organizes the raw image files into a structured folder system to ensure easy access and backup. Maintaining backup copies of all raw files is crucial to prevent data loss and ensure the integrity of the image files throughout the post-production process.

02 . Editing

Using professional photo editing software such as Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom, the post-production team begins editing the selected images. This process may include color correction, exposure adjustments, cropping, retouching, and other enhancements to achieve the desired look and feel.

03 . Quality Check

After editing each image, a quality control check is performed to ensure consistency and accuracy across all edited photos. This includes checking for any missed edits, color discrepancies, or other errors that may affect the final output.

04 . Client Review

Once the editing process is complete, the edited images are uploaded to a secure online gallery or shared with the client for review. The client has the opportunity to provide feedback or request revisions if necessary.

05 Revisions

If the client requests revisions, the post-production team implements the requested changes and ensures that the final images meet the client's specifications and expectations.

06 . Final Delivery

Upon approval from the client, the final edited images are prepared for delivery. This may involve formatting the images according to the client's requirements, resizing for web or print, and packaging the files for download or delivery.

07 . Archiving

After delivery, the post-production team archives both the raw and edited image files for future reference and retrieval. This ensures that the studio maintains a comprehensive record of all client projects and facilitates any future requests for additional edits or reprints.
