When you isolate an objet do you leave all the shadow, a part of the shadow? or do you remove all the shadow?
What is best for designers?
Or other way to make the question: What sells better?  :)

I was always trow the shadow away. But lately I isolated whit the shadow for a curved note paper where the shadow was at the only place it could be. Otherwise I let the designer exactly choose where to put the shadow and how much. I think if the buyer want a longer shadow or anything like that it could only make the process more time consuming. But I can't say whitout good experience if it's sell better whit or whitout

Even though I prefer to see one with a shadow, a TRUE isolation has none.  From what I understand, you cannot call it an isolation with a shadow.

You are right but from the sales point of view, what do you think buyers prefeer?

Good question: I don't know the answer.

What I can say is that I always keep the shadow in my isolations and also some reflection from time to time and I do use the keyword "isolated"... and I never had any rejection due to keyword misusage.

From a buyer point of view, I see two different usages for an isolation: put it simply on a white background (web site, print) or use the object as a design element.

I would say that in the first case the buyer would prefer an isolation with the shadow (because no, it is not that easy to create a realistic shadow in PS) and in the second case a true isolation.

So the correct answer to your question is probably "it depends".

But I must tell you that my isolation do sell quite well with the shadow. Would they sell better without? I don't know.

Both do well for me.
I always photograph on a white reflective surface, sometimes i remove reflection, sometimes not.  In eather way, both techniques seem to please designers. So for me : undecided.
