I mean…when you picture or photgraph the product, how then to make focus just on the product, i.e. to erase everything around the sole product, so to be white around ?
Looking for that for very long time.
If you don’t mind the work for a photo that’s already taken, use the eraser tool or paint white. Photoshop’s background eraser is one of the tools that can be helpful for this.
Otherwise, unroll some white paper onto a table top and photograph it using even lighting, or in a light tent. If you really want to eliminate shadows, put the object on an elevated sheet of glass.
Putting the object on a sheet of glass is quite a trick. I have yet to find a way to get a decent photograph of an object on (ordinary) glass. There’s always a reflection or glare.
Photographing the object on a white background, and then using the white eyedropper in "Curves" (you have heard of "Curves, haven’t you Mike?") to blow out the white sometimes works.
