Clipping of Objects

One distinguishes between partial and total clipping. In the latter case, the background is completely removed and replaced by a white or transparent one or the clipped object is transferred into another picture. Whereas partial clipping means that the background of a picture is softened or blurred in order to turn the spotlight on the clipped object.

Clipping Techniques

There are various techniques to isolate objects. First, there is the possibility to avoid disturbing backgrounds already while taking the photo. This works out either by shooting the object in front of a white shadow-free background or by taking dark field pictures. Dark field pictures are taken on reflection-free glass with a matte-black background which creates a floating effect.

Second, there is the more common possibility to cut out objects in the retrospect by the means of digital image editing – as already described above. Here, the manual generation of clipping paths by the aid of professional tools is the optimum in quality and accuracy, especially when it comes to complex objects.
