Hi Stock Folks,

I wanted to know how important is that my White Background, on isolated objects, to be 255 in all areas? I used the curves with with white dropper and usually get around 250 on most of my White Background- is this good enough.

Also if you do want to isolate the object it the pen tool much better than the magic wand tool?

Thanks.

Tom

I use levels to take to 255 , stockfresh will reject you for a mix of 250-255. Other sites depends on reviewers mood on the day

This will really help me. Cannot thank you enough! I just watched a video to show you how to check the White Background and how to make it 255. Awesome and I am very lucky that a lot of my photos were accepted as an 'isolated' object...

Check out leafs tutorials on isolation. They are here somewhere and very helpful.

yes, it is important that white is 255

otherwise, it's not isolated on white, it's another concept: a grey background is perfectly acceptable in some shots but near-white is useless
