You've taken a great photo, and noticed that the background doesn't do the photo justice. If only there was a quick and easy way to remove backgrounds. Well, there is!
I use eBay a lot, and all you fellow sellers will know that taking good quality images can give you better responses from buyers.
Pictures of items usually look better and more professional when taken against a white background, but that's not always possible. However, there's a website which can help with this. Let's do this together.
Take your photo
1. Take a photo of the object using your smartphone or camera, and make sure the photo is available on your computer
Example: I've taken a photo of a book against the wooden floorboards
2. Using your computer, visit the website: burner.bonanza.com
3. Scroll down to "Drag and Drop Image Here" - click Choose a photo, and click on the photo that you wish to remove the background of.
4. Watch the magic as Background Burner removes the background from your image!
5. Select the image that is closest to your desired end result, and click on Touch Up
Example: I will pick image #1
5. Use your mouse to outline the object to further remove the unwanted background
6. You will have to create a free account with Background Burner, and then you can download your edited photo.
The end result...
Crisp and Professional! Try it out yourself.
