In the previous post, I showed you how you can take photos of your products on a white background.

It’s a common misunderstanding that your photo backgrounds will appear perfectly white right out of the camera.

To complete the process, you’ll need to edit your original photos in a photo editing software.

You’ll first need to download Gimp for free at http://www.gimp.org

For the next steps, watch the video below:

To save as JPG, PNG or GIF file:

Instead of “Save” or “Save As”, you’ll want to “Export” or “Export As”. Doing this will save your photo as a PNG, JPG or GIF file that Etsy or your website will upload!

Questions, comments?

I’d love to see your before and after photos using this technique.
