Hello world,

I am new to this game and was looking for a little advice...
I have a set of pictures of a police officer and am a little unsure about the background...
should I use photoshop and whiten it or leave alone

thanks

You like sheets in need of ironing ?

Am I right? Or half blind

It´s great image, that will sell very well. I´m sure!

The grey looks fine. If somebody wants to cut it out, it's not going to be difficult for them. Nice image BTW.

Ah, yes. Well, I only looked at the smaller version. Poking about I can see the wrinkles in the sheet in the larger version. If you can clean those up. It was mostly the color I liked.

Also, don't forget to take the name (motorola) off the phone and the wording on the pin in the center of his hat. Those may get you rejected. Great image!

Just cut the officer out and put him in front of a uni color Photoshop gray background - done. Lose that backdrop as it is. With a one color background the image is going to be doing well. I can also see a hint of shadows around the legs. Get rid of all that.

Good shot!
