Anyone on here any good with Photoshop or have suggestions?

Hello guys,

I am curious to know how these auction sites get that clean and crisp look of the jerseys in their pictures. Does anyone know if its Photoshop that you need to edit photos and get that all white background cut around the jerseys? Any help would be much appreciated. For example,

Yes. Photoshop seems to be the best way. I'm sure there are other ways.
I used photoshop on this one:

You can just create some sort of backdrop, like a sheet, and shoot the jerseys in front on a mannequin.
That's basically what I did with these, on a much smaller scale. It's just construction paper, curved up into a cardboard box. Camera on a tripod and shooting some light from the sides. Then can adjust color in PS.

I downloaded the free trial of photoshop to see if I could copy/paste a bat onto a photomatch pic without the background on it.
WOW! was I confused!! Got frustrated an deleted the program.
Just wanted to clip out the rug background around the bat so it looked nice side by side with the photomatch.
Could anyone do this for me if it's not troublesome???

Randy,

I have access to Photoshop. If you can PM me the image(s) or post them here, I'll do my best to clean them up for you this weekend.

GOPACK1782 You sent me a private message but you cant receive private message back oplease email me at Eric16841@aol.com with the photos you would like some help on and what you are looking to do with them.

Gopack1782,

Got your PM. I cleaned the picks up you sent. Sorry couldn't respond back like Eric mentioned below.

Found it easier to go with a black background to contrast the white jersey. Shoot me a PM if there is anything you'd like to change and I can easily do that.

Hope these work for you!
