Product photography tutorial

Filed in Giveaway, Tutorial

2 – 3 persons had asked me personally, how I took and edited a picture for my blog. So here I want to share my way on how to make sure the picture looks professional without professional.

My tip: The right technique is matters while shooting the picture; No vibration (tripod will do, because our hands cannot hold the camera steadily) and lighting (light enough and no direct flash, it will caused harsh shadow or else the picture will over exposed).

  • Prepare a white clean interfacing. I used white fabric and white sheet, curve it on a chair for seamless background. Put the product into place and shoot some pictures.

  • Choose the best picture. This is the original picture I will be working with.

Editing the picture step by step:

Step 1: Open the picture with Macromedia Fireworks. Other software should be similar. Crop the picture with Cropping Tool on the left. Press Enter on the keyboard.

Step 2: Next, go to Filter –> Adjust color –> Curves.

You should have a window open that looks like this. Click select highlight color on the right pen.

Drop the pen on the white background of the picture. See what happen to your picture’s background. It’s turned white now.

Step 3: To make the color looks vibrant, adjust your curve by dragging down a bit. Then click Ok.

Step 4: Now got to Modify –> Canvas –> Canvas Color.

Choose White and then click Ok.

Move the picture around to make sure the background is totally white as white as the canvas.

Repeat the Step 2 once again. This time drop the pen on the ‘not white enough’ background. Then put the picture back into place.

Step 5: Go to Modify –> Canvas –> Canvas Size. Resize the picture to your desired size.

I used to resized my picture to 500 pixels. Click Ok.

Your picture will looks small now. Change the resolution view and click 100%.

Step 6: Click the picture, then go to Effects –>Sharpen –> Sharpen. To make the picture even more sharper.

Step 7: Then click Text Tool on the left and drop it on the picture and type your name or what so ever, for copyright.

Step 8: Go to File –> Save.

Click Save JPEG.

This is the stage where you sh0uld have your final image.

You’re done! You’re just produced a professional photo without professional. Hope this simple steps will help. Good luck!

Thank you for reading.

Wait, wait. Don’t go away yet. Keep reading this. Ok, I made these cup cake keychains and hp straps for the sake of this tutorial. And yes, they’re embellished on both sides. So, I’ll give it for free to 2 readers. 1 keychain and 1 hp strap to each of them. Just leave a comment on this entry by completing this slogan “I want these cup cakes for free because…” or “Saya nak sangat dengan kapkek ni sebab…”.

I’ll choose the best 2 slogans and announce the chosen ones on Tuesday. Make sure I can reach you through your email.

Ok, I’m finished now, thanks again for reading till the last full stop.

    Jaja,
    thanks sebab share tutorial ni. Sangat bagus!
    Yati selalu takut nak main dengan curve tu, tapi rasanya lepas ni boleh la cuba. Yati edit photo guna Photoshop. Ada pernah dengar last step, sharpen image kita. Jadi, memang betul ye.
    Yati nak cuba nasib ye
    Saya nak sangat dengan kapkek ni sebab, comel sangat kapkek tu semua, warna yang ceria, dan lagipun saya dah lama teringin nak dapatkan dan tengok sendiri depan mata produk JajaKraf dari dulu.
