Creating White Backgrounds in Photoshop for Product Images

In this photography class Karl deliberately takes a bad image of a wine bottle, showing you how you can use simple Photoshop techniques to better the picture and achieve a clean white background.

Although the image will never be as good as it would be if it was shot correctly, you’ll see how minor changes can make a big difference and why you don’t always have to discard a ‘bad’ image.
