things is crazy sometimes up to 15 takes per clip ) I do have several more

| Thanks bro, all due credit to you tho, its all you with the editing. If you hadn't
sent that video to me then I would never have been able to edit the photo properly
and it would be a blurry, badly lit photo of the santa minifgure on a benchtop!!

I have to confess to only skipping through parts of your video but wouldn't
it be a good starting point to photo your item on a white piece of paper to aid
with cleaner smoother background removing? In fact in some circumstances it may
even save you from feeling the need to remove the background at all?
You can also photo raised items such as minifigures quite well by sloping a piece
of paper by taping the top to a box (ski slope style) and taking a shot in front
of that which gives you a perfectly smooth white background without any seam
lines/edges. Admittedly the light may leave some shadows from the object your
photoing though I don't mind this personally
I understand why people like to remove background completely but to avoid any
fiddly issues with background removal tool eating into some of the edges for
now I still use the paper background method though I'm sure many others will
find your video very useful

With a sheet of paper as background I get results like these. After that, only
minor editing would be required to create a pure white background.

Okay but by not using a sheet of paper you’re only making your background removal
tool have to work harder than it needs to also you mention it brings up every
spec on the paper but what does that matter if you are using a removal tool anyway?
I’m not sure how a spec on a piece of paper can be any worse than all the stuff
your camera will pick up from not starting with a clean background like this?
As WoutR’s photo’s show it gives a good clean starting point before removing
background
Besides when I started taking photos for my ebay shop I didn't even bother
with a background removal tool and to keep with continuity I still don’t because
as my own C-3PO example taken in front of a sloped piece of paper will show it
can very easily be used with the original paper background in place without any
editing because as you can see there are no specs on the paper and there are
no background seams/edges
Some may not like the light grey background or the shadow that the minifigure
casts but both these things can be altered by both the positioning of the lamp
and using more lamps/brighter lamps to create a whiter background. Personally
I was happy with my photos looking this way as it gives them a better sense of
depth and makes it clear to any ebay customer that I actually have the product
in hand and have taken the photos myself whereas using a perfectly cleaned up
generic stock photo doesn't give that same sense of what the customer can
expect though since we all share the same photos here on Bricklink its a bit
different and it makes sense for all photos to look like they come from a professional
catalog with removed backgrounds where possible but using a plain piece of paper
is almost certainly the best starting point with helping to achieve that!

Except sometimes a white background isn’t a good background if your taking a
photo or a white part otherwise it can easily confuse the background removal
tool . I find that it’s best to use a contrasting background for example I’m
taking a photo or a dark part so I use a light background and vice versa so I
wouldn’t be able to use a piece of paper as a one size fits all solution for
photos. Plus since the background gets removed it dosnt really matter what it
is you could take it anywhere which also makes it easier (unrelated, I also can’t
stand the texture of most paper)
(Also the specs refer to either the ones on the item or the ones on background
hence why I remove it rather that use a white background in addition to the cleaner
look of a clear background)

Except for eBay it would be a 1 time thing until it sells out restocks and the
like as opposed to bricklink where there photo will be there until it is either
replaced with a better one of the item is deleted from the catalog

I truly appreciate the advice but I can’t say I’ve found it to be any better
to use a white background than a black one or a blue one or my desk when using
the background removal as long as it’s noticeably different that the colour of
the part it works well!

You could use a black piece of paper (or brown).
I've also seen some use a tan or light bluish gray baseplate as a background.

Nobody said it had to be paper but at the end of the day you chose to do a tutorial
using a random blue/black marbled background (I can't see the video now as
you've taken it down any reason for that?) Either way this is not the best
advice you can give people hence I thought it important to point out that a plain
white background would be best and I simply mentioned paper because this is a
resource that almost everyone has to hand!
Sidelining your argument towards the off chance that you may be needing to take
a photo of a plain white object doesn't make the advice I've given any
less relevant because even a white object casts a natural shadowed outline making
a white background just as effective using a background removal tool and if anything
I wouldn't be surprised if a darker background will only merge and eat into
that all important natural dark outline of your object which is not so good!

basic essential step imo

Cant say I've found it a necessary one unfortunately
for example I recently added this image using a blue background and it came out
amazing!

I would suggest a white, gray or black background. Coloured backgrounds reflect
light on to the item and give it a color cast.

It does seem to do that sometimes hence why I usually try to avoid a bright colour
for a background (this one was more of an outlier than the standard). Thank you
for the recommendation!

Just because you might get the results you want from doing something one way
it doesn't make it the simplest, quickest or most effective way to do
something (remember you were doing a tutorial for the benefit of others) Given
most tutorials would suggest a white background as the best starting point for
something like this why would you go out of your way to suggest differently.
Logic alone should tell you that a white background will always be the most efficient
and effective template to start with?
But you clearly know best and so carry on with making your follow up tutorial
photoing your objects against the nights sky (hopefully your next tutorial will
last longer than a day)...... I give up!

Yes and that was a patchy, speckled multi-coloured background which is even worse.
The first rule of thumb is that it should be a consistent plain coloured background
ideally white or light in colour

I’ll do some testing later and will post in the results here of using several
different coloured backgrounds (oddly enough I don’t think I have a white background)
but I’ll use a piece of paper and for the other colours I’ll use a piece of cloth/fabric
from a photo box I have and I’ll also do one on no background and the like.

No worries it will be good fun and even if paper is a better alternative its
probably I would have to find something different to use cause I just got a few
pieces and the feel horrendous (just cut my nails yesterday so its worse than

Remember that black will be visible through transparent parts, so in those cases
you can't edit out the background without everything looking weird.
Because white is the background colour that we are working to, taking the photo
on white background can give better results sometimes. Then all the subtle reflections
and shades automatically match what the eye expects.

I guess it depends on the desired quality of the end result.
A proper set up before taking the photo will allow you to take a much, much better
image with much less editing. It does help if you make it easier for the software
that you are working with.

Your catalog image looks good, but it IS blue on the left side behind the eye.
I actually use MULTIPLE sheets of paper to get a better white
| | | | But you clearly know best and so carry on with making your follow up tutorial
photoing your objects against the nights sky (hopefully your next tutorial will
last longer than a day)...... I give up!

steps but just for you if I can remember ill mention that you can add a piece

|
The results will definitely differ.
Plain background in neutral colour helps with
- easy edge detection without weird artifacts
- no colour cast in your final image
resulting in
= better final image
At least, that is my experience in over 9 years of amateur LEGO photography.
But do what works for you now and, like I said earlier, enjoy...

Pizzaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!! Will defiantly try some different coloured background
again and compare the results but I don’t want to do anything to complicated
for a setup as the tutorial is meant for people who want to add an image or
2 and likely don’t want to spend 10min first making a setup and everything

I usually spend like 30 seconds.
Place sheet of paper in shadow on sunny day. Put brick on top. Go get camera.

Two photos, so you can see why I take the 30 seconds to place that brick in indirect
light (in the shadow). Worth it!

I'm not being funny but if someones prepared to take the time to watch a
tutorial showing them how to do something, it stands to reason that they've
invested their time to be shown properly and so do you honestly think making
them have to find a piece of A4 paper is really gonna put them out? For most
house holds a piece of paper can be located in just a few seconds!

We can rephrase our suggestion:
Use a plain, smooth, non-reflective white background.

Well then use letter paper or whatever plain paper you have to hand or even a
plain white pillow case or sheet is good enough

I guess it depends on what you're good at. Some would say that with good
enough photography skills, you don't really need to do much editing afterwards.
Others would say that you don't need good photography skills if you know
how to edit. To each their own.

One thing: Don’t scale 48 times. Do your modifications and then, only at the
end, you scale down.
I don’t know how the websites work. Maybe they are smart and keep the original
and intelligently review your modifications before applying them… but I doubt
it as desktop applications generally don’t do it.
Anyway, it’s rather moot as you tend to switch from one application to the other
and therefore each modification is final and its ‘original’ is lost.
You may scale down once at the start because you’re taking Gigapixel pictures…
but don’t scale down too much. Try to gauge the size of the region you’ll keep
and adjust the scale to have that region about double the size BL wants.
Example: if the part takes half the width and BL wants a 600pixels image, scale
down your 8k photo to 2400, then do your things and crop to 1200, then scale
down to 600.
And that’s especially true if you work in JPEG (which loses info every time you
save).
(Better work in PNG from the start.)

your like me and your PC can't run it

|
One thing: Don’t scale 48 times. Do your modifications and then, only at the
end, you scale down.
|
It seams to have a much better time in the background removal tool once it’s
been cropped a bit and I get much more consistent results than if I just put
the whole image in in full size and the I edits it only for the final modifications
| | I don’t know how the websites work. Maybe they are smart and keep the original
and intelligently review your modifications before applying them… but I doubt
it as desktop applications generally don’t do it.
Anyway, it’s rather moot as you tend to switch from one application to the other
and therefore each modification is final and its ‘original’ is lost.
You may scale down once at the start because you’re taking Gigapixel pictures…
but don’t scale down too much. Try to gauge the size of the region you’ll keep
and adjust the scale to have that region about double the size BL wants.
Example: if the part takes half the width and BL wants a 600pixels image, scale
down your 8k photo to 2400, then do your things and crop to 1200, then scale
down to 600.
|
(Oh boy do I wish I could take 8k photos unfortunately i dont think that’s was
even a thing for phones when mine was released )
The smallest I tend to make the photo when resizing the photo is 600x800 (excluding
cropping which is practically physically impossible to do when it’s such a large
image)
which is the bricklink max size but I will (if I remember that is ) test
out the method you mentioned and compare the results and see if I can find any
noticeable difference and if I can see a noticeable difference I’ll start using
that method
| | And that’s especially true if you work in JPEG (which loses info every time you
save).
(Better work in PNG from the start.)

My photo only takes photos in jpeg
I do truly appreciate the advice but lots of it is to confusing for me and it’s
just meant to be a simple tutorial for people who want to submit a photo or 2
or are like me and get confused once new steps start getting added

Yes, they mostly all do. But you should be able to save your first modification
in PNG and then continue using PNG all along.

Below is what JPG (right) does to a nice image (left) (= colour artefacts & squares).
Okay, it’s a bit exaggerated (I told it to use 10% quality, usual is 90%) but
the thing is that JPG loses info every time you save.
And the second image (if I’m lucky and the forum doesn’t reorder them), is what
scaling down then up does (blurry).

Many people have a misconception about .JPG files. A .JPG file can be Lossy
or Loss-less.
The original JPEG format was Lossy in 2000 JPEG 2000 came out, which can be Lossy
or Loss-less.
Some applications have implemented JPEG 2000. The preferred file extension is
JP2 but some implementations use the JPG file extension.
Nubs video is offline so I couldn't see which application he is using to
know whether it is JPEG or JPEG2000 under the hood.
For large files you can usually tell which format is used. If the image initially
renders fuzzy then start gaining more detail, it is JPEG 2000.
In general, .PNG, .RAW, and .TIFF are Loss-less. .JPG can be Loss-less or Lossy.
But then you can start talking about color space . . . 8-bit, 16-bit, 24-bit,
32-bit . . .

|
| My workflow is as follows:
- set up items to be photographed on a white/neutral background
- set up with lots of diffuse lighting (avoid strong shadows). For example, a
spot in the shade on a sunny day could work well.
- take several photos (use RAW image, manual focus if possible, but you can make
this work without)
- select the best photo to work with in your editing software
- crop to the image size you want, but do not rescale yet. Consider the final
aspect ratio you want/need. Rescaling = data loss. It will make further edits
more difficult.
- adjust colour balance (preferably using a color calibrated screen).
- minor edits to brightness, contrast, saturation etc. If you need lots of adjustments,
consider taking the photos again in better light
- clean-up dust spots, image sharpness, white/highlight/shadow/black-balance,
whatever you like
- clean-up background if needed
- save image at the size it currently is (maximum size). If exporting to jpg,
always use maximum quality / minimum compression.
- as final step: rescale to final image size. Save again with maximum image quality.
and don't forget to enjoy

My system differs from most others:
--White background is essential
--Tons and tons of diffused light sources
--I still use a filler flash for focus as I have no room to set up a tripod
--I crop my full-size image to the aspect ratio I want to finish with.
--Quickly remove the background without fussing too much about the edges
(magic wand, smooth selection edges, layer mask)
--Save a copy at the finished size
--Open that copy and make any final edits and color corrections.
--Save and upload
--Check the color again on the BL image pending screen. Things that looked
great in my editor might still look off on the website. How it looks on the website
is the only thing that matters.
I know this flies in the face of standard image editing technique. (A flash!
Resaving images!) But, I do this because many flaws that show up at full resolution
disappear once the image is compressed to 800x600 or 600x480. Why bother smoothing
edges and cleaning up dust that no one will ever see? I don't believe any
loss from saving my image twice is actually visible at the resolution we use
here on BL. (Hopefully, no one will be making posters from my quickly edited
images.) I make lots of images and the large image should look good, but the
most important thing is the thumbnail. Good thumbnails make identification easier
and reduce errors from sellers. The color needs to be great and the orientation
aligned with other similar parts.
Thanks for sharing!

| Ignore how no matter what it almost never removed the background inbetweeen the
legs
Id says its a close call between the white background and no background
all images were taken from the same distance with the same light source which
was the same distance away. any variation in lighting levels is probably some
complicated reason related to refraction

The variety in color here would likely be fixed by adjusting your white balance
before you remove the background. What color is this guy anyway? Sand Green?
I think the top right corner looks the best overall.
All I did to edit this corner of your image was adjust the white balance.

I just looked at several different options and couldn't really find anything
about editing white balance for images without it starting to get super complicated

Bummmer... it's an easy 2 clicks in Photoshop. What editor are you using?

I mostly use this one here for fine-tuning it has a decent amount of options
but if an external site was needed to better use white balancing I wouldn't
be opposed to it but couldn't really find any

I really like GIMP https://www.gimp.org/ free, open source, multi-platform, easy
to use, good online instructions for how to do most anything. White balance is
two clicks like Photoshop.

That's a problem if you are using your computer to make money. Sounds like
it may be a thermal issue or maybe just too little RAM. If it was my computer,
I would find out why it crashes "from just being on." One of these days it is
going to crash at the most inconvenient time and lose you money or cause you
to miss an opportunity.
With windows 10, I would recommend running at least 16GB Ram, if not 32GB - Memory
is cheap.
Make sure your CPU/GPU fans are all working and not plugged up with dust and/or
gunk.
No computer, especially a modern one, should not just crash from being on.

Trust me my old PC was worse I literally found several PCs in different garbages
and mismashed the parts together and somehow made it work except it would crash
almost everyday even mid part out so I eventually upgraded

It might have something to do with where I put it I kind of have it on a doorstepright
next to my downstairs door exit and bugs really like that area and I don't
really like bugs and its kinda blocked in with a couple of desks that were screwed
together so i can really move them (combined they take up about 1/4 of the wall
of the basement kitchen) and its really up in the air on weather it decides to
work. If I'm just on the internet working on bricklink it works pretty good
usually (sometimes I randomly have to close my oppera tabs when it starts to
get slow but I just reopen them and it works like new) but trying to run much
of anything that isn't a live wallpaper will pretty much not be to happy
with it (although for some really confusing reason my video editor works pretty
good sometimes?!?!?!)
Im planning to wait a bit longer to upgrade as I first need to finish paying
back my business debts so unfortunately I can't buy many other things yet

This older Photoshop version is now available for free and should run on older
PCs:

Ah, no. It doesn't seem to have a setting for that. I do hope you find an
editor with that important editing tool though. It makes a ton of difference!

Keep in mind that its not just about the end result but its also how long it
took to get that end result and I would think that a plain white background can
only aid with taking out that background more cleanly/quickly
