Hello,

I am thinking of buying photoshop, but I would like to know if this would work.

I have to remove the background of product images (Clothing) and change it to solid white.

The Products are colourful and in front of a white wall.

Since i have to edit a lot of pictures regulary, i am looking for a way to automate this process.

I need to save them as .jpg files!

Would this be possibe with photoshop? Removing the original background and replace it with white on several photos at once?

I have the pictures as .jpg.

Thank you !

I just posted on another related thread:

https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/jpeg-with-outline-path-to-transparent-png-files-conversion/td-p/13055741

That thread inspired me to make something that should do the job. It's fresh out of the oven, started only hours ago, so it could have glitches still. Just let me know any problems. Also I'll attached an image. If this solves the problem, I'd appreciate marking it as the answer. Thanks.

hello i'm interested in trying a trial of photoshop if can make this.. i have photos with white background but is not uniform so could be less grey in some part of image... i'm testing batch online software that seems works with limitations for trial... i need to make a PURE white background along many photo that compose for 360 degree image... actually i'm using a free plugin inside wordpress to make white backgroud that works great .. the only thing is that is not automated so need to do each image at time... SO my question is does exist a script or plugin that makes this result ? thanks

The process you are describing seems nonsensical – why involve the Bucket Tool at all?

Please provide sample images already.

it's better i show you with a video

I'm a product photographer and I have a number of actions and scripts that mostly automate cleaning up a white background.

Having said that: I have 39 years of photography experience and have been using Photoshop since version 2.5. I know how to properly light and shoot an image to get a white background, and I know how to manually mask an image with path and selection tools if needed.

My suggestion for a newbie would be to look into plug-ins, if you absolutely MUST automate this process. Get the book Light Science and Magic and learn how to light, this will make things SO MUCH easier.

Since the OP mentioned that the images are jpg I suspect they are not the one doing the photographing.

Yeah, working with JPEGs is risky. I do it sometimes but again, I know the limitations.

people have been using Photoshop for decades to do exactly that.

But whether full automation works reasonably well depends on the images.

Let me be blunt: If you start with jpg the process does not seem to be implemented great to begin with.

I recommend that you avail yourself of the free 7-day-trial of Photoshop.

The clipping of the objects is the crux; Photoshop’s Select > Subject may suffice for your needs or manual improvements may be necessary, no way to say for sure for anyone but you.

Please post a couple of sample images.
