[thelist] cropping images or photography

[Thomas Klepl]

Andrew,

I'd recommend you take the photo and expose the subject correctly without
worrying about the background. Then in Photoshop, add a Levels adjustment
layer with a layer mask to mask out the subject. Set the adjustment layer to
clip the highlights as much as possible to result in a pure white
background. The layer mask will preserve the highlights of the subject.

Subject: [thelist] cropping images or photography

Here is one for the photoshops wizzrds or photgraphy experts :)  Having
spent some time trying to get the white background 'white' correct so that
the subject is sitting on an exactly white background I am not having too
much success, is it possible to easily place the image onto a white
background without distorting the white in the subject image (which is
eactly what is happening) or can anyone point me in the diretion of a really
god way to setup the perfect light surrounds for digital photography?

Andrew
