Client Requirement: Clipping Image Service

The client required clipping product apparel. They wanted to get help for clipping the products, removing the mannequin, and retouching the images. They partnered with BOP and received the best output.

Challenges faced by BackOffice Pro Faced in the Project

The initial hurdles include the number of images, i.e., 200 images had to be processed within 24 hours. Additionally, the client was very particular with the wrinkle removal. The processed image should not look artificial. With highly skilled resources and strategies, we easily overcame the challenges and met the requirement.

Custom-Built Process of the BOP for the Clipping Image Project

The client had taken a trial of 4 images on different apparels. Once he approved, we were then assigned to process 800 images a week. The workflow is as follows:

  • We received the jpeg files and using Photoshop we removed the mannequin from the apparels.
  • The backside of the apparel was created to bestow a realistic view.
  • Then we removed the background and made it white
  • Neck-joining and retouching to remove wrinkles were done.
  • The final jpeg file (3000 x 3000, 72 dpi) were sent to the client.
